Little pat o' butter

Here's the full recipe for The Soup, courtesy of my friend Shelley. (I halved the recipe and it still made plenty for 2 people and a few servings of leftovers.) (The notes in brackets are mine, while the written instructions following the ingredients are Shelley's.)

--1 large white onion, chopped
--1 bunch of celery, chopped
--3-4 cloves of garlic, chopped
--1/3 to 1/2 cup olive oil [Note: Upon reflection, I think I accidentally used 1/2 cup of oil instead of 1/4. Oh, well.]
--salt/pepper
--2 28-oz cans of diced tomatoes
1 regular sized can of chicken stock [Note: I used the whole can even when halving the recipe, and I'm glad I did because otherwise the soup would have been SUPER thick. Also, I used chicken broth because I could not find chicken stock in a can. Maybe they are the same thing. I have no idea.]
--1 teaspoon sugar
--1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
--zest of one medium orange [Note: I used all the zest I could grate off of a rather large orange.]
--1 small container of heavy cream
--1/5 or so stick of butter

Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large pot. Once heated, add the onion, celery, garlic, and some salt. Cover pot and let cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent but not burned or brown.

Add tomatoes (in juice), chicken stock, sugar. Let cook with the top off for about 30 minutes.

Remove pot from heat. In batches, use a blender or food processor to blend up everything until it's not chunky anymore. (Should still be thick, like a smoothie or something, but not with big chunks of vegetables in it.) You will need a tupperware or another bowl or pot to pour the blended batches into while you blend another batch.

Once it's all blended up, return all the soup to the original pot, and heat it up to medium-low heat so that it almost simmers. Add cream, butter, orange zest, and cayenne. Stir it around and let it cook for another 5 minutes or so. It's ready to eat now, or you can save it for up to a week.
