INGREDIENTS

– tomatoes – onion – basil – chicken stock – red crushed pepper – baking soda – sugar – parmesan cheese – heavy cream – butter

Add 2 tbsp of butter to a large pot and let it melt over medium-high heat. Add the onions and let them soften for about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, whole peeled tomatoes and their juices, fresh basil, and chicken stock. Let it come to a boil. 

Once it comes to a boil, cover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook for 20 minutes. 

Stir in the baking soda, it will foam up, but that's okay, continue stirring. The baking soda will help balance the acidity of the tomatoes.
