Finely chop the onion. Wash the tomatoes, remove the stems, and dice them. Sauté the onions in butter until translucent, add the sugar, and caramelize until golden yellow. Add the tomatoes and tomato paste and lightly fry. Deglaze with water. Add the spices (except the basil) and simmer the soup with the lid on for 10-15 minutes. Then puree with a hand blender and pass the soup through a sieve, leaving the seeds and skins in the sieve. Return to the heat, stir in the cream, and sprinkle with the basil. Season to taste and serve in soup bowls or plates, garnished with a dollop of cream if desired.
