Ingredients

Unsalted butter

1 Tbsp

Uncooked onion(s)

1 cup(s), chopped

Kosher salt

2 tsp, divided

Fresh tomato(es)

2 large, beefsteak, ripe, cored, coarsely chopped

Canned cream style white corn

14¾ oz

Fat free evaporated milk

12 oz

3 cup(s)

Black pepper

¼ tsp

Basil

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter. Add onions and 1 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring frequently, until onions are extremely soft, about 10 minutes.
  2. Stir in tomatoes; cook for 5 minutes more.
