Notes

*You can use fresh tomatoes but I haven't tried this. I would blanch them first, remove their skins, and then add them.

**If you don't have an immersion blender, you can let everything cool to room temperature, then purée it in a food processor or blender. You will need to return it to the pot later to add the heavy cream and warm to serve.
