Ingredients

1 medium sized sweet onion chopped
1 tsp minced garlic
½ tsp thyme
4 TBSP butter
28 oz Hunt's Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes two 14-oz cans
1 cup beef broth
1 TBSP brown sugar
¼ cup water + 9 TBSP
sliced baguette topped with cheese for garnish

Instructions

Prep: Chop the onion into small chunks.
Cook: Combine the onion, garlic, thyme, and ¼ cup of water in a hot pan. Cook over medium-high heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding an additional 3 TBSP of water every 4-5 minutes. The onions should caramelize and turn dark brown in color.
Add in the butter, diced tomatoes, beef broth, and brown sugar. Continue to cook on medium heat until the mixture is bubbling, then decrease the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
Assemble: Once the ingredients are cooked through, blend it using an immersion blender or a standard blender if that is what you have on hand.
Top each bowl of soup with toasted baguette and cheese, and sprinkle with fresh basil, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
