Step 1

Prep: First, lightly drain the can of tomatoes then pour the tomatoes into a large 2 quart bowl. Make sure the bowl can fit in the microwave, that is where it is headed. Next, add in the broth, brown sugar, onion powder and basil leaves. Gently stir the ingredients together.

Step 2

Heat: Proceed to cover the bowl loosely, leave some air for the soup to breath while heating. I like to use a paper towel or even a light towel (one that you don't mind getting dirty with tomato sauce!). Then microwave the soup mixture for 5 minutes on high. Once it has cooked for the 5minutes, remove the cover and add in butter. Let the mixture sit for 3-4minutes, until the butter has completely melted. Stir the soup to combine all the ingredients well.

Step 3

Puree Soup: After that, puree the soup using an immersion blender for 1 minute. If you do not have an immersion blender, are gular blender will work as well. If needed, blend the soup in two batches using a blender.

Step 4

Portion the soup into individual serving bowls, garnish with a drizzle of cream (if desired), garnish with afresh basil leaf. Serve and enjoy!
