1 tablespoon butter
1 bay leaf
1 heaping tablespoon brown sugar
2 whole cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh basil
1 pint light cream (Kay feels 1/2 pint is enough...and I agree)
1 cup milk
6 large croutons
butter
2 tablespoons chopped chives
Skin and seed tomatoes.
Saute onion in butter.

Add tomatoes, bay leaf, sugar, cloves, salt, pepper and basil.

Simmer, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes are thoroughly cooked, about 25 minutes.

Transfer mixture to blender and puree. (Or strain through a coarse sieve.)

Add cream and milk.
