2 cups tomato juice (I prefer Red Gold brand)
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp or cube vegetable bouillon
1 tbsp butter
1 clove minced garlic
1 tsp dried basil
fresh ground black pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients in a 2-quart saucepan. On medium heat, bring to a boil.

Reduce to low heat and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until creamy and hot.

Serves 1 – 2 depending on how hungry you are. Goes great with grilled cheese on hearty rye or wholegrain bread.
