Boil all tomatoes for about 10 min. until you see the skin crack. Rinse them in cold water, then peel and core them. Put them back into the stockpot, add V8 and all of the basil leaves and bring to a boil. Turn down and let simmer for about 30 min. Put hand blender directly into stockpot and puree your tomato mixture. (If you don't have a hand blender, you can put increments of the mixture into a blender, but it takes a little more time and can be hot and messy.) Stir in all of the whipping cream and butter. Add salt and pepper to taste.
