I urge you to try it. In a large pot, heat oil and saute onion until softened and translucent. Add and cook garlic a minute or two. Add all the tomato products and chicken broth and basil. Heat and add the crumbled blue cheese over medium heat stirring until cheese is melted. Season to taste and simmer low about 20 minutes. Serve hot and garnish with fresh basil. The soup reheats well and may be prepared ahead of time. Serves 8 to 10.
