Ingredients

1 medium diced onion
1 teaspoon corn oil

Heat oil in soup pot over medium heat.
Add onion and allow to sweat for 5-6 minutes.
Add can of tomatoes, water, brown sugar, salt and pepper.
Check for personal taste on salt and pepper and add more if you wish.
Bring to boil and turn down.
** At this time I use my immersion blender to puree the soup a bit. If you don't have one, you can pop it in your regular blender, of if you like it chunky, do not do this step**.
Allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
