In large pot, heat oil and butter over medium heat. Add onions and saute for 10 minutes or until soft. Stir often.

Stir in tomatoes and sugar. Cook for 10 minutes, smashing tomatoes with a wooden spoon as they cook.
Stir in chicken broth and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Add basil.
Blend until smooth and creamy with an immersion blender or in a kitchen blender. Be careful as the soup will be hot so vent the lid to release the steam. Work in batches.
