Sun-dried Tomato Dip

Combine tomatoes and 1 cup boiling water in a bowl; let stand 15 minutes or until soft. Drain tomatoes in a sieve over a bowl, reserving 1/2 cup soaking liquid.

Place tomatoes, reserved soaking liquid, basil, and remaining ingredients, except chips, in a food processor; process until smooth. Serve with pita chips or baked tortilla chips, if desired.
