Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 2
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme, hearty
• 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
• 1 1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt, more to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon finely ground black pepper, more to taste
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (optional)

Recipe

• 1 in a medium pot, heat the oil.
• 2 add the onion and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until tender and lightly browned on the edges, about 7 minutes.
• 3 add the garlic and thyme; stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• 4 add the tomatoes, broth, honey, salt, and pepper.
• 5 bring to a boil over high heat.
• 6 reduce the heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until reduced by a quarter and thickened, about 15 minutes.
• 7 using a standard or immersion blender, puree about half the soup; it will still be chunky and thick.
• 8 return it to the pot and stir in the cream.
• 9 heat gently and adjust the seasonings.
• 10 ladle into bowls, sprinkle with the parsley if using, and serve immediately.
