Method
A velvety soup with a vibrant red color that coats the spoon perfectly. The steam releases scents of reduced tomato and brown butter.
- 1
In a saucepan, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook gently until the onion is translucent, without browning.
- 2
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir for a minute. Add the chopped tomatoes and the chicken stock. Bring to a boil.
- 3
Lower the heat. Add the sugar to break the acidity. Let simmer until the tomatoes crush easily with a fork.
- 4
Blend the soup until smooth. Add the cream and give it a final blend to emulsify. Adjust the seasoning.
