Add the chopped tomatoes and let them soak over medium heat for 5 minutes, then add the brown sugar, which is used to mitigate any acidity of the tomatoes. Then add the tomato paste mixing it with the other ingredients, the broth a little at a time, letting it simmer, and a clean Parmesan zest to give aroma. Finally, add the cream and cook with the lid on for about 30 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat, remove the Parmesan crust and homogenize everything with the help of an immersion blender. Once the operation is complete, distribute the soup on individual plates, seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary, and serve immediately on the table. The tomato soup is ready!
