Here is how you make Creamy Tomato Gorgonzola Soup with Fresh Basil:

1. Pulse the drained tomatoes in a food processor until smooth, about ten 1-second pulses followed by about 20 seconds continuous; set aside. .2. Cook the garlic, tomato paste, and oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the tomato paste begins to brown, about 2 minutes. [note: This is best in a regular pot, not non-stick, but non-stick is fine if that's all you have.].3. Stir in the pureed tomatoes until the tomato paste mixture has thoroughly combined with the tomato puree..4. Cook for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes are bubbling. Add the gorgonzola and stir until the cheese has melted and no longer appears as lumps in the sauce (5-8 mins)..5. Add 1 pint of fat free half and half. Stir to thoroughly incorporate. Remove from heat to keep half and half from boiling..6. Off the heat, stir in the basil. .I like bowls of this stuff, not cups. So each serving is ~ 13-15 ounces (almost 2 cups).
