Tomato Soup Comfort

A plate and bowl of warm comfort headed your way.  And surprisingly easy as a quick weeknight meal.  For the soup, chop up a medium onion, lightly sauté in some decent olive oil with some S&P and a tablespoon of sugar.  Deglaze with a good slug of white wine.  Add a big can of peeled whole plum tomatoes.  Let that go for a while, then hit with the blender.  Finish with a touch of cream.  Taste – add more S&P as needed, and if bitter add a little bit of baking soda.  Garnish with fresh basil…

Have a nice grilled cheese with this, and a little arugula dressed simply with olive oil and lemon juice.
