WOW!!! I was looking for a re-creation of a restaurant tomato basil soup as well. I took the ultimate easy way out & used 1 1/2 t. dried basil. (couldn't find any flavored paste) Family doesn't like big hunks of pepper- so used 1/2 t. regular ground pepper. Also used 3 T. Splenda to make it low carb & I can't BELIEVE how delicious this is!!! Thanks so much for creating & submitting, Jim!!!

<p>I've been working in foodservice for over ten years now in many different guises. I like to think that I have a very unique perspective on food since I know it from so many different angles. Ask me anything. I don't bite, unless you look like food.</p>
