Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until onion is translucent.

Place tomatoes and basil in the saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.

Add the cream, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper; stir. Heat about 5 minutes longer.

If you want a completely creamy soup, process in a blender or use a stick blender (more convenient)
