Creamy Tomato Soup With Peppery Parmesan Crisps
Ingredients:
3 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 (28 oz) can whole peeled tomatoes in juice, roughly chopped
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
½ teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup heavy cream

4. Pour soup into a blender or food processor and purée for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
5. Add the cream and process for 10 seconds longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
