Creamy Tomato Soup

This is what we have when I'm starving and need something tasty and super-quick. It's our version of fast food, and it's very soothing. We usually have store-bought garlic bread and/or rolls along with it... this week I also added Asian Fruit Salad.

1 package creamy tomato soup (something other than the canned condensed variety... look for jars or aseptic containers. Imagine organic creamy tomato is a good vegan brand.)
1 can diced tomatoes
1 handful julienned sundried tomatoes
1/2 tsp garlic powder
4-5 leaves fresh basil, torn into bits
2-3 dashes Tobasco sauce

Pour the soup into a saucepan and add the diced tomatoes and garlic powder. Turn the heat up to medium and heat until it's hot all the way through. Just before serving, add the torn basil leaves.
