soup receipe

we tried this tonight and really liked it. Hallie liked it too.

Tomato-Basil-Red Pepper Soup
2Tbsp salted butter
4 scallions (I used 6)
1 (28oz) can diced tomatoes with liquid
1 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup roasted red bell peppers, rinsed and seeded
3/4 teas. dried basil
salt and pepper
3/4 cup heavy cream
Melt butter over medium-low heat in large saucepan. Add scallions and cook, about 4 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, chicken broth, roasted peppers, basil, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir occasionaly. Remove from heat, stir in heavy cream. Season to taste.
We thought this would be great in a bread bowl.
