I made this for lunch yesterday, with some beautiful tomatoes my mother gave me. Yum! We had it with grilled cheese sandwiches. Heaven in a bowl! I hope you like it as much as i did!

Steps

Heat oil in a 2 quart sauce pan over medium high heat.
Add onions and garlic and saut until tender , then add tomatoes , and mush them up a bit , and stir.
Cook over medium heat about 10-15 minutes , until tomatoes are quite soft and breaking down.
Add water , basil , bouillon cubes , salt and pepper , and sugar.
Bring to boil , reduce heat to low , cover and simmer about 20 minutes.
Near the end of the cooking time , heat half and half or milk so that it is hot.
Add hot milk to soup and stir.
Pure with an arm blender , or do it in batches in a blender.
Strain soup through a sieve or run it through a food mill to eliminate any peels and seeds that remain.
Mix egg with about 1 / 4 cup flour and salt and pepper to taste , until well combined.
Bring soup to just below boiling and drop in dumplings by very small spoonfuls.

Dumplings should be almost like spaetzle , quite small , and soft when cooked.
