Creamy Tomato Soup

Melt butter in a large saucepan and cook onion gently until soft and sweet, about 8 minutes. Add garlic for 1 minute.

Add whole peeled tomatoes (crush them with a spoon), vegetable broth, sugar, basil, salt and black pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes.

Blend tomato soup until completely smooth with a stick blender (or carefully in batches in a blender, lid vented). Stir in heavy cream and warm through without boiling.
