Method

In a large pot, add your stick of butter & sautee your onions until translucent, about 5 minutes over medium heat. Add crushed tomatoes & tomato juice. Add sugar + chicken base (or bouillon cubes). Bring to a boil & simmer for a few minutes to let all flavors get together (NOW - Taste! If it still tastes too acidic, add a bit more sugar) Add heavy cream.
Now its time to blend the soup to make it creamy + smooth. You can use a blender or an immersion (stick) blender. Season your soup nicely with salt, pepper, and garlic powder!
Eat! XOXO

Notes

Pairs perfectly w/ crusty grilled cheese!

I also like to add some cooked elbow noodles to change it up

You'll never buy canned tomato soup again :)
