Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

I bought heavy whipping cream to make some recipe.  Unfortunately I don't remember which recipe I wanted to make.  I have a quart of quart of heavy whipping cream and I'm trying to find recipes to make with it.  I guess I could make whipped cream, but I've never been much of a baker.

Mike has commented before that he likes tomato soup (I've never been a big fan of it), so I thought I would try this Creamy Tomato Basil Soup, which uses whipping cream and is a tomato soup.  I was pleasantly surprised by how it tasted.

I only made half the recipe since I didn't need know how it would turn out.  This still came out to be a lot of soup.  Additionally, it's a little on the salty side.  This is kind of my fault since I just put some salt in there.  The recipe says "salt and pepper to taste".  I hate how recipes say that.  Obviously I should reduce the amount of salt listed in your recipe if I don't like salty food.  I didn't put any Parmesan cheese in the soup.  Perhaps next time I would leave out the salt and just put the Parmesan cheese in at the end.  I also used a can of diced tomatoes from Costco instead of using crushed tomatoes.
