- 4 cups chopped seeded peeled tomato (about 4 large)
- 4 cups low-sodium tomato juice
- 1/3 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1 cup 1% low-fat milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1/2 cup (4 ounces) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened
- Basil leaves, thinly sliced (optional)

Directions
Bring tomato and juice to a boil in a large saucepan. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes.
Place tomato mixture and basil in a blender or food processor; process until smooth. Return pureed mixture to pan; stir in milk, salt, and pepper.
