Nan's Classic Tomato Soup

I love tomato soup, particularly with a grilled cheese sandwich.  This is a classic recipe that has a great flavor and spice.  Make it gluten free by using a gluten free flour.  

3 T butter
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 large clove garlic, minced
2 T Flour
2 cups homemade or lower sodium chicken broth
2 cups Nan's Naughty And Nice Bloody Mary Mix And Recipe Boost
2 cups tomatoes, whole, diced or puree
1 1/2 teas sugar
1-3 springs fresh thyme
1/2 teas white or black pepper to to taste

Heat butter until melted, add onion and sauté until soft but not brown.  Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute being careful not to burn.  Add flour and stir for about 2-3 minutes.  Add broth, Nan's, sugar, thyme and pepper.  Bring to a simmer, lower heat, cover and simmer for about 40 minutes stirring occasionally.  Discard thyme sprigs, puree soup with an immersion blender.  Enjoy!
