Instructions
Heat the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 2,3 minutes.
Add the canned tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, salt, black pepper and paprika. Break up the tomatoes with the back of a spoon and stir to combine all the ingredients.
Add water and bouillon cube or broth. Bring the soup to a boil and then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a blender and blend until smooth.
Return the soup to the pot and gradually stir in the heavy cream. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve the tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches or crusty bread.
Notes
Gradually add the cream while stirring the soup to prevent any curdling or soup separating. Add a pinch of baking soda if you prefer to prevent this. You can warm the soup after adding the cream but don't boil.
Storing - transfer the soup to an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.Reheat - in the microwave or in the stove top on a low heat until warm.Freeze - don't the add the cream. Once the soup cools, transfer it to freezer safe containers and freeze. Can be frozen up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight. Reheat and add the cream at the end.
