Tomato Soup

My daughter Lori made this soup for us on her last visit.  It is delicious!

*2 large cans crushed tomatoes

*1/2 of the big cans of tomato juice (not the litttle V8 kind, but the

really big ones.  I think it's about a quart) (you can freeze the

other half for the next time you make this)

*salt &pepper to taste, 1-2 teaspoons dried basil

*splash of lemon juice

*stick of butter

*1 cup heavy cream

-In a soup pot, mix the crushed tomatoes and the tomato juice with the

salt, pepper, and basil.  Simmer for about 30 minutes.

- Add the lemon juice and butter.

-When the butter is melted, remove from heat and stir in the cream.  That's it!

Great with grilled cheese, french bread, etc.
