Puree or crush onion and ginger. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat and add onion puree. Cook for 4 minutes, blending flavors and stirring frequently.
Puree tomatoes and add to the saucepan. Stir in the stock, sugar, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Stirring occasionally, cook over medium heat for about 30 minutes. Taste for seasoning, adding salt, pepper, and/or sugar as desired.
