  3. Add the flour and stir to coat the onion and garlic.
  4. Add the broth, tomatoes, sugar, thyme, and 1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper.
  5. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat while stirring the mixture to make sure that the flour is not sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  6. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 40 minutes.
  7. Discard the thyme sprig.
  8. Let cool briefly and then purée in two or three batches in a blender or food processor.
  9. Rinse the pot and return the soup to the pot.
  10. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Reheat if necessary.
  11. Serve warm but not hot, garnished with the herbs
  12. Make Ahead Tips:This soup stores well and tastes better the second day. You can keep it in the refrigerator as long as you bring it to a boil every two days. Or you can stash it in the freezer for up to three months.
