Add basil sprigs, tomatoes, chicken stock to the onions. Over high heat, bring to a boil. Reduce to medium low and simmer until reduced by one-quarter, about 20 minutes. Cool 10 minutes. Remove the basil and discard.
• In a blender, puree the soup in several batches until very smooth, 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Return to a clean soup pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Season with salt to taste. (The soup can be done up to one day in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve. If so, heat the soup over medium heat until hot, 5 minutes.)

• With the lid off the pan, add the chicken broth and heavy whipping cream and bring the pot to a simmer. The mixture should start to thicken as it reduces. This should take about 10 minute You want the soup to be somewhat thicken but not soupy. If your soup is a bit thin, let it simmer a bit longer while occasionally stirring.
