Preparation steps

1.

Rinse and halve the tomatoes. Peel and finely dice the shallot, garlic, and the carrot. Heat the oil in a pan, and sweat the shallots, garlic, and carrots. Sprinkle with the sugar, and caramelize lightly. Mix in the tomato paste and sauté briefly. Add the broth to the pan, and bring to a boil. Cover the pan, and simmer gently for 15 minutes. 

2.

Mix in the cream and the basil, then puree in the blender. Pass through a fine strainer and return to the pot. If the soup is too thick, thin with a little broth. Likewise if the soup is too thin, simmer until the desired consistency has been reached. 

3.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. 

4.

Garnish with cream and basil leaves, if you'd like, and serve.
