Creamy Tomato Basil Soup image

I created this soup while trying to duplicate one I enjoyed at a restaurant in Philadelphia. It isn't exactly right, but it's close! My husband and I love this soup on cold nights with a grilled cheese sandwich. It's so easy to make that we often have it on weeknights, and I also serve it during Lent.
