chili basil tomato soup

are you looking for a twist on a tomato soup recipe?  well, here is one that is quite tasty.  it warmed me up one night this week and was very easy to prepare.  served with crusty bread and a salad, the whole meal was perfect for a weeknight warm-up.

to make the soup:
combine two cans of progresso condensed tomato soup undiluted with 1 can of evaporated milk, 1 cup of 2 percent milk or half and half, and 1 10-oz can of diced tomatoes and green chilies undrained.  i used ROTEL. add 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped basil, salt and pepper to taste.

heat and serve with shredded Parmesan and parsley as garnish.
