Quick Tomato Soup

Enjoy this creamy tomato basil soup with a side of crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich for a comforting and easy meal.

Ingredients (serves 4):

• 1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
• 4 cups tomato puree
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
  
• Salt and pepper to taste
  
• Fresh basil, to garnish
• Optional: 1 tsp sugar

Instructions:

1. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes soft and begins to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Sprinkle in the sugar (if using) and allow it to caramelize with the onions, stirring frequently for another 1-2 minutes.
3. Pour in the tomato puree and stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
4. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Continue to simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
6. Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh basil.
   

Enjoy!
