Tomato Basil Soup image

This recipe is a new take on the old Southern tomato soup...it doesn't contain potatoes! Very yummy, and it can make a full meal with a nice grilled cheese sandwich. ** Note: Prep time includes cooling time before pureeing.

2 yellow onions, finely diced

5 tablespoons butter, unsalted
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons sugar, plus a dash more
1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
4 cups water
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, saute the onions and garlic in butter until clear and softened. Add the salt, pepper, and 3 tbsp of the sugar. Cook until the sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
