Recipe from Michelle Scott of California

4 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons flour
3 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes, chopped (I use canned more often than not)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon sugar
3 cups broth (vegetable or chicken)
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup heavy cream

1. Melt the butter over low heat in a pot.

2. Add the onion; cook over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until soft.
Add the garlic during the last 2 minutes, stirring. Sprinkle with flour
and cook 3 minutes longer, stirring.

3. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, and broth. Bring to a boil,
reduce heat to a simmer and cover; cook over medium-low heat for 30
minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and cool
slightly.

4. Purée the soup in a food processor - I use the hand blender and do
it right in the pot. Stir in the heavy cream.

5. Warm the soup before serving.

    Everyone's sauce recipe is different. This one is more Sicilian and was handed down from my grandparents. The key is no exact measurements just flavor with ingredients below to taste.  In a large pot
