Ingredients

  • 1 - 28 ounce can diced tomatoes, including juice
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbs butter
  • 2 tbs sugar
  • 1 tbs chopped onion (I use more than that; sometimes I use dried/minced instead)
  • Pinch baking soda
  • 2 cups cream or half-and-half (I prefer the latter, having tried it both ways)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method

  • Mix all ingredients EXCEPT cream, salt and pepper in a large soup pot.
  • Cover and simmer for 1 hour, checking occasionally.
  • Heat cream in double boiler or in microwave until it is almost ready to boil. Stir into tomato mixture (NOT vice-versa). Serve, and season individual bowls to taste with salt and pepper.
