In a large saucepan over medium heat, sauté onion and garlic in margarine for about 2 minutes. Stir in cream cheese, basil and paprika. Cook until creamy; gradually whisk in milk and soup. Stir in tomatoes. Simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes, until heated through.
Tip: Treat yourself to crisp savory crackers with your next bowl of soup. Spread saltines with softened butter, then sprinkle with garlic powder, thyme, paprika or another favorite spice. Pop into a 350-degree oven just until golden, 3 to 6 minutes.
