Instructions

Melt the butter in a large saucepan.  Add garlic and onion; cook, stirring, until onions gets softened - about 15 minutes.

Add chicken stock, tomatoes, pepper, and salt; bring to a boil.  Reduce the heat to low and cook until onions, tomatoes, and garlic have softened – about 10 to 20 minutes.

Working in batches, transfer soup into the jar of a blender and purée until smooth.  Return to saucepan to place it over medium heat.  Cook till soup is heated through.  In case the soup seems too thick, stir it in extra stock to thin.  It’s recommended to serve the soup immediately.
