2 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
28 ounces Hunt's whole peeled tomatoes garlic and crushed red pepper variety with liquid
1 tablespoon granulated sugar or sugar substitute
1 cup water or vegetable broth
1/2 cup heavy cream

Melt butter in a 2-quart (or larger) saucepan over medium heat. When butter has melted, add onions and saute for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and dried oregano. Stir for 30 seconds, until garlic is fragrant.
Pour in the canned tomatoes with their liquid, plus the sugar and water, then stir to combine. Increase burner heat, bring soup to a simmer, and cook for about 10 minutes.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup. Alternatively, carefully transfer hot soup to a blender and puree, then return it to the pot. Add heavy cream to the pot and stir to combine.
Serve warm, topped with optional cracked pepper, shredded parmesan cheese and/or basil.

Be careful when using a standard blender to puree hot liquid.
