This quick-and-easy, low-fat, low-calorie tomato and basil soup eliminates the fats and focuses on the stars of the show. Best of all, start to finish, it can be on the table in 25 minutes.
It is a perfect soup for all seasons. In the summer, you can substitute fresh chopped tomatoes for all or some of the canned, which will add a little but not a lot of time to your prep, and extra broth to make up for the lost liquid. And this is a great way to use the abundance of fresh fragrant basil in the markets or your own garden.
