Tomato Basil Soup

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 onion, chopped
2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups vegetable or chicken stock
1 (14.5 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil
Freshly ground pepper

Heat oil and butter in a 4-quart pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and salt and saute until onions are soft and translucent. Add stock, tomatoes, and honey and simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes to marry flavors.

Let soup cool slightly and put half of it into blender with sour cream. Blend until smooth. Transfer to another pot. Blend the other half of the soup and add. Reheat blended soup. Add basil and pepper to taste before serving.
