Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves whole (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 ½ pounds tomatoes chopped or 28 ounces of crushed canned tomatoes
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons salt or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  • In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add in onions and cook for 7-8 minutes.
  • Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes, gently add in the rest of the ingredients, except for the heavy cream.
  • Bring ingredients to a boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer and partially cover pot for 25-30 minutes, stirring soup occasionally.
