Fresh Tomato Soup

Amount	Ingredient
2 tablespoons	butter or olive oil
1	medium-sized onion, chopped
4 pounds	fresh tomatoes, quartered
	Salt
	Freshly ground black pepper
Pinch	sugar
2/3 cup	light cream (optional)
	Basil leaves (optional)

Preparation Instructions:

Melt the butter or warm the oil in a large pan over moderate heat, add the onion, cover, and cook until the onion begins to soften: 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes to the pan, cover, and continue to cook until the tomatoes have collapsed and are puree-like: 10 - 15 minutes. Pour the soup into a food processor or blender and puree, then strain it through a sieve into a clean pan (to serve warm) or into a bowl (to serve chilled), adding a little water to thin it to the desired consistency if necessary. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and stir in the sugar and cream, if desired. Reheat gently, or serve chilled from the refrigerator. Garnish with basil leaves, if desired.
