Notes
If you are using fresh tomato instead, then take 10-12 large tomatoes (roughly 800 grams - 900 grams). Blanch them and discard the seeds.
Amount of sugar and seasoning depends on how tart the tomatoes are. If they are more tart, increase the amount of sugar to your taste.
Substitute butter with Olive oil and cream with coconut milk or cashew cream for Vegan Tomato Bisque.
