I love this tomato soup. Even my husband likes it, and he says he doesn't like tomatoes!

Ingredients

2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
18 fresh basil leaves, or more to taste, finely chopped
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup butter

Directions

Stir tomatoes and chicken brother together in a large saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook at a simmer until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes.
Stir basil and sugar into the tomato mixture; reduce heat to low and continue cooking until the basil is wilted, about 5 minutes.
Stir cream into the tomato mixture; add butter and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the butter is completely melted, 5 to 7 minutes more.

Cook's Note:

If I don't have whipping cream I have used skim milk and have still had great results.
