When making this soup, don't skip the sugar; it really helps balance the acidity of the tomatoes. A common mistake is not blending the soup enough—smooth is the way to go for that creamy texture! Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, and they reheat beautifully on the stove. If you want a lighter version, you can substitute the heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
