- 1 -- bay leaf
- 1 -- garlic clove, minced
- 1 pinch ground cloves
- 2 to 3 tablespoons brown sugar

- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- -- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup half-and-half
Instructions
-
Heat olive oil in a large saucepan. Add onion, carrot and bay leaf; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes. Add brown sugar and cloves. Stir until vegetables are well coated.
-
Add broth and tomatoes; bring to a simmer. Cover pan, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes.
-
Remove pan from heat. Remove bay leaf and discard. Purée soup in a blender (working in batches) until smooth.
-
Add salt and pepper. Slowly pour in half-and-half, stirring constantly. Refrigerate until serving time.

When reheating soup, do not to bring to a boil, or cream will curdle. If you plan to freeze soup, do so before adding half-and-half.
