Heat the butter and oil together in a large stockpot over medium high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the onions. Sauté for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 1-3 additional minutes until the onion is softened.
2
Add the wine and cook approximately 4-6 minutes. Decrease the heat to low.
3
Stir in the flour and dry mustard. Cook two minutes to get rid of the raw taste of the flour.
4
Gradually add the chicken stock, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add the tomatoes, thyme, tomato paste and sugar. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for for 15 minutes.
5
Remove and discard the thyme bundle if used. Puree the soup, either using a traditional blender or a handheld immersion blender, until smooth.
6
The soup can be eaten as is, but for a creamier texture strain the soup through a mesh colander or food mill. Return the soup to the pot.
7
Add the cream and heat through. Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
