Cream of Tomato Basil Soup

Peel the onion and cut it into small dice. It should yield about 3⁄4 cup. Mince the garlic.

In a medium sauce pot, melt the butter.

Sweat the vegetables with a pinch of salt in the butter until the onion is translucent and well softened.

Add the cream.

Bring the contents of the pot to a low simmer and reduce the volume of cream by half. Add Carbone Tomato Basil Sauce, and again bring to a simmer. Add the basil and parmesan, and steep. Purée if desired and adjust seasoning with salt to taste
