Quick and Easy Tomato Basil Soup

By GratefulSea

From the unpretentious About.com website, this soup is incredibly delicious, and really easy and quick to put together. What's not to LOVE?
I used low sodium organic vegetable broth.
It's low fat, low calorie, and even vegan.
Serve hot or cold. Yummy!
