Ingredients

8 servings
  • ½ cup (1 stick) butter, (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large onion, (thinly sliced)
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 4 large basil leaves, (chopped)
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper, (to taste)
  • 2½ pounds fresh tomatoes, (peeled and cored)
  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
  • ⅓ cup all purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon granulated white sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • croutons, (for garnish (optional))

Steps

  1. Melt ¼ cup (½ stick) of butter in a large saucepan and add the olive oil. Add the onion, thyme, basil, salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is wilted. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste and stir to blend. Simmer 10 minutes.

  2. Place the flour in a small mixing bowl and add 5 tablespoons of broth, stirring to blend. Combine the flour mixture with the tomato mixture. Add the remaining broth and simmer 30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.

  3. Puree the soup in a food processor or blender, then return to heat and add the sugar and cream. Simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Swirl in the remaining ¼ cup (½ stick) butter.

  4. Serve hot, garnished with croutons- if desired.
