Tomato Soup Like La Madeleine's

This recipe is pretty forgiving. If you want to go lowfat use milk and less butter.

2 cans stewed tomatoes blended (Blend low for chunkier soup. I do it about medium.)
1/4 cube butter
1/2 c cream (you can also use half and half)
1/2-3/4 tsp basil
Salt to taste

For BEST results put this soup in a crock pot on low for 4 hours. Yum! OR Bring it to a boil for 3-5 minutes and serve. We like it with melted cheese sandwiches.
