Five Crowns French Tomato Soup
This comes from one of my favorite restaurants in Corona Del Mar, CA.
Serve this hot, with garlic croutons, or serve cold with a sprinkling of fresh herbs.

2 cups sliced onions
8 plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
4 cups chicken stock
1 tbsp tomato paste
1/4 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp chopped parsley
2 tsp chopped basil
1/2 tsp chopped thyme
Salt
White Pepper
