Steps:
- In a Dutch oven or soup pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender and turning translucent, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
- Add the tomatoes and vegetable broth and stir to combine. Increase the heat to medium-high, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 30 minutes, reducing the heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer, and stirring occasionally.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender, being sure not to fill past the maximum fill line (blend in batches if necessary). Add the beans, butter, sugar, and several twists of black pepper. Securely fasten the lid and blend the soup until smooth, being careful to avoid hot steam escaping from the lid.
- Since canned tomatoes vary in flavor, I always end up tinkering with this soup a bit at the end. Taste and, if necessary, add a little more sugar (to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes), pepper, and salt (I usually add another 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon).
- If you're adding basil, add it now. Briefly blend again, and serve hot. This soup keeps well for up to four days or so. You can freeze leftovers for up to 3 months.

Steps:
- Heat the butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until crisp and most of the fat has rendered, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and set aside. Lower the heat to medium, add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, about 8 minutes.
- Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Pour in the broth and crush the tomatoes through your fingers into the pan. Bring to a boil while whisking constantly. Tie the parsley sprigs, thyme, and bay leaf together with a piece of kitchen twine and add to the pot. Lower the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Remove and discard the herb bundle. Working in batches, transfer the mixture to a blender and puree until smooth. Return the puree to the pot and reheat over medium heat.
- Whisk in the heavy cream, salt, and pepper, to taste. Divide among warm soup bowls and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use Fresh, Ripe Tomatoes: For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season tomatoes. If fresh tomatoes are not available, you can use canned diced tomatoes or tomato sauce.
- Roast the Tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and sweetness. Be sure to roast them until they are slightly charred and caramelized.
- Use a Good Quality Broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. I recommend using a homemade chicken broth or a good quality store-bought broth.
- Don't Overcook the Soup: The soup should only simmer for a few minutes, otherwise the tomatoes will lose their flavor and the soup will become bland.
- Season to Taste: Be sure to season the soup to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika for a little spice.
- Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Before serving, garnish the soup with fresh herbs such as basil, parsley, or oregano. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
This 8-minute creamy tomato soup is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. It's made with fresh, roasted tomatoes, a flavorful broth, and a touch of cream. The soup is creamy, flavorful, and satisfying. It's also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. Serve it with a grilled cheese sandwich or a salad for a complete meal.
