Makes about 1 gallon

7 ea                 Green tomatoes
1 lb Country ham (Bistro and we use Bentons - but any will work) 1 qt Heavy cream (could cut the calories by using less or with half and half) 
1 qt                  Chicken broth
1 tbsp               Salt free chicken baste or 2 bullion cubes
1 tbsp               Crushed red pepper  more or less to taste
1 tsp                 Hot sauce or to taste

Bake country ham until just warmed through and dice into small pieces.
Dice 4 tomatoes into small pieces, puree 3 others in food processor.
Mix all ingredients in 6 quart pot over medium heat, stirring often.
Bring to a simmer and thicken with corn starch dissolved in water (start with 1 cup water to 1/3 cup corn starch and adjust to desired thickness. 
Remove from heat and refrigerate over night to marry flavors.
Reheat and garnish with basil leaf.
