- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender - blend until smooth.
- Remove from heat, then add the cream if using (I warm mine to make it less likely to curdle), mixing thoroughly.

Notes
- Use diced or crushed peeled tomatoes, it doesn't matter. Fresh tomatoes can also be used!
- Stir some pesto in at the end for a fresh kick!
- A bay leaf, added with the other seasonings and removed before blending will add a savory flavor.
- Fresh basil, oregano, and thyme make fantastic flavors if you have them on hand
- Switch the half n half for heavy cream, sour cream or yogurt, or omit entirely.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to REALLY warm your belly!!
