Tomato Basil Soup

I was asked to post this from Monday night's Bunco:

Rich and Creamy Tomato Basil Soup
8 tomatoes- peeled, seeded, and diced
8 c. tomato juice
28 leaves fresh basil
2 c. heavy cream
1/2 lb. butter
salt and pepper to taste

Combine tomatoes and juice in stock pot. Simmer 30 min. Puree along wiht basil leaves in food processor. Return to stock pot, add cream, butter, salt and pepper. Serves 10

Susan changed the recipe somehow- If you heard her say how, post it in the comment section
