Tomato Basil Soup

Yummy tomato-ey goodness, enhanced by the subtlety of basil, garlic and onion.  This soup is based off my brain patterns and I made it up as I went.  This is my first i'ble so please comment.

This is a very simple soup and items can be removed, added, lessened, increased as required.  The soup will most likely be thin so additions of milk, cream, cheese or other thickeners could enhance the texture and flavour if you so choose. I did not have any of those on hand so I got what I got.

This soup made me crave a grilled cheese sandwich or toastie for the Dutch.  But I was not allowed one as my other half was making croissants.

Step 1 Ingredients

I used:

2 fresh tomatoes
1 can double concentrated tomato puree
1/4 large white onion
2 cloves garlic
bunch of basil (fresh). See little Eustace there.
tsp of butter
750 mL - 1 L stock

I'm using this recepy in a cooking contest between me and my girlfriend. Don't let me down! :-)
