Here's what you need:

  • 4 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 medium sweet onion, chopped
  • 1 quart of tomato chunks
  • 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth (you can sub out water, beef or vegetable broth also)
  • salt to taste
  • basil (fresh or dried) to taste (optional)

Melt your butter in a saucepan and add the onion, tomatoes and broth. Season with salt and basil and simmer over medium heat for 35-40 minutes or until the onions are soft. Using an immersion blender, blend up the soup until it's the consistency you like. Enjoy!
