Ingredients
  

  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cups sweet or yellow onion (diced, about 2 medium-sized onions)
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons minced garlic (about 5 cloves)
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 28 oz cans whole peeled tomatoes (I like to use Cento or other brands of San Marzano when I can find them)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • ¼ cup finely sliced basil
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon table salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ⅓ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • Shredded or grated parmesan cheese (for topping)

Method
 

  1. Place butter in a large pot over medium heat and cook until melted.
  2. Add diced onion and cook, stirring frequently, until softened (about 5-8 minutes).
  3. Add garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  4. Sprinkle flour into the pot and use a spatula to stir until no lumps remain. Continue to cook another 30-60 seconds, while stirring.
  5. Add tomatoes and their juices, crushing and smashing them with your spatula and scraping the bottom of the pot as you add them until no large pieces remain.
  6. Stir in chicken broth, basil, sugar, salt and black pepper and stir well.
  7. Bring soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.
  8. After simmering, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until completely smooth (alternatively, puree the soup in batches using a traditional blender and then return to the pot).
  9. Stir in cream and baking soda, stirring until smooth, cohesive in color, and not foamy. Taste-test and add salt and pepper as needed.
  10. Portion into bowls and serve topped with grated parmesan cheese. This soup is excellent for dipping grilled cheese or just served with a side salad and some crusty artisan bread!
