Creamy Tomato Soup

A few weeks ago C and I were both very sick, and it was time for a delicious soup.  This is For The Glow's version of Tomato soup, it's healthy and really tasty.
Heat all ingredients except the avocado in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cover and let simmer for around 30 minutes.
Once heated through blend all the ingredients using a high speed blender or a Vitamix.  Add the avocado and blend until smooth and creamy.
Garnish with a piece of fresh basil and enjoy.  This soup really hit the spot, and when you use fresh ingredients you can really taste the difference.  Hope you like it!
