1 pound tomatoes, diced or a 16-ounce can, drained
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
3 cups creamy tomato soup
5 tablespoons fresh chopped basil
3 to 4 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Saute onions and garlic with a little salt over medium heat to soften. Add tomatoes and cook over high heat to wilt the tomatoes. Add remaining ingredients and heat until bubbling. Taste and adjust seasoning.
