• Add the stewed tomatoes, chicken stock, tomato paste, Better than Boullion, and sugar to the pot and bring it to a simmer. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes, covering the pot slightly if it splatters.
• Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cream. Season the soup generously with salt and pepper.
