• Raise heat to medium, stir in the flour, and cook for 2-3 minutes, then add the thyme, bay leaf, broth, salt, sugar, and pepper.
• Simmer, partially covered, for about 10 minutes.
• Cool the soup slightly; discard the bay leaf; then puree the soup in batches in a blender or food processor.
• Return the pureed soup to the pan and add the cream.
• Cook over low heat until just heated through, but do not boil.
• Adjust seasonings if necessary, and serve garnished with parsley.
