    Here is one you might try.

    Crockpot Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

    6 Tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and diced
    14 fresh Basil leaves
    1 tsp salt
    1 tsp pepper
    6 c Tomato juice
    2 c Heavy cream
    1/2 c cup Butter

    Put the first 5 ingredients into a crockpot and cook 5-6 hours on low. Stir in the cream and butter, heat til melted and then serve.

    If you don't want it creamy i'm sure you could leave out the cream and butter.

    Hope you enjoy!

    You can also replace the heavy cream with lite coconut milk or with half and half.

    Yeah, I wouldn't consider a soup with 2 cups of heavy cream and a half cup of butter to be low calorie, which is what OP asked for, and OP should check the label on the tomato juice to see if it fits their idea of low sodium, which they also asked for.
