Our Family's Favorite Tomato Soup

This is one soup recipe we go back to over and over again.  The kids love it too and of course, it's awesome with grilled cheese sandwiches.

It's a Pioneer Woman recipe.  Everytime that show is on, Ben and Dan yell, "Mom, your favorite cooking show is on!".  Her recipes are all so good.  I've altered it just a tad bit.

6 Tablespoons melted butter
1 medium onion, diced
1 bottle (48 oz) tomato juice
2 cans (14 ounce) diced tomatoes seasoned with basil and garlic
1 chicken bouillon cube
6 tbsp. sugar
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup cooking sherry
1 1/2 cup heavy cream
chopped fresh basil

Saute onions in butter until soft then add all ingredients except sherry and cream.  Stir well and bring to low boil.  Reduce heat and add the sherry and cream.  Heat for a few minutes, turn off heat and then using an immersion blender, food processor or Vitamix, blend the soup until smooth.  My kids like no chunks!  Garnish with fresh chopped basil and serve.
