In a large stockpot over medium heat melt butter. Add in the chopped onion. Saute onion until it’s cooked and transparent.
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, 1 onion
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.
29 ounces crushed tomatoes, 46 ounces tomato juice, 1/4 cup white sugar
Add in the bouillon cubes and salt and pepper.
3 chicken bouillon cubes, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper
Stir and heat until a soft boil then turn the heat off.
Add the heavy cream, basil, and parsley.
1 1/2 cups heavy cream, 1 Tablespoon chopped parsley, 2 Tablespoons dried basil
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.)
