Fire Roasted Tomato Soup

Kozmic Blues's Note:

Deliciously warm and comforting, but so simple! And it is low fat too. This is an adptation of a recipe I saw on the Fat Free Vegan Kitchen website. The author of the site mentions using the Muir Glenn brand of organic Fire Roasted Tomatoes, which is what I used when I made this. I believe this recipe is WW Core, if the sugar is not added

added sour cream, tortilla chips, and cheese for garnish and it was just like Paradise Cafe's!
