Preparation
Peel and clean onion, garlic, carrot, and celery, and roughly chop everything.
Melt vegan butter in a large pan or Dutch oven, and sauté vegetables on low to medium heat for about 15 minutes until fragrant.
Add sugar and flour, and keep stirring for 2 minutes, then add chopped tomatoes and vegetable broth.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover with a lid, and let the soup simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Let the soup cool down enough to transfer it to a mixer and blend until smooth.
