Grind the bruschetta seasoning. Mix with the olive oil and let stand. Wash, trim, deseed, and dice the tomatoes. Mix with the seasoned olive oil. Pluck, wash, and puree the basil leaves. Melt the margarine in a saucepan. Add the flour and make a light roux. Pour in the broth and bring to a boil while stirring. Add the pureed basil and cream. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes and season to taste. If the soup has become too thick, add a little warm water and season again. Briefly puree the soup again before serving. Ladle into deep bowls and place 2 tablespoons of the diced tomatoes on each side, then place a basil leaf on top. If desired, garnish the soup with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
