Ingredients
- 1 onion
- 6 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 29 ounces crushed tomatoes 2, 14.5 ounce cans
- 46 ounces tomato juice 1 can
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 3 chicken bouillon cubes
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 Tablespoon chopped parsley
- 2 Tablespoons dried basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tespoon pepper
- fresh basil garnish
Instructions
- In a large stockpot over medium heat melt butter. Add in the chopped onion. Saute onion until it’s cooked and transparent.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato juice, and sugar. Do not omit the sugar. You need this to counteract the acidity of the tomatoes. Stir to combine.
- Add in the bouillon cubes and salt and pepper.
- Stir and heat until a soft boil then turn the heat off.
- Add the heavy cream, basil, and parsley.
- Next, using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it’s fairly smooth. You can also use a blender. (Optional: you can choose to leave the soup in the thicker consistency, but we like our tomato soup on the smooth side.)
