TOMATO CARROT BASIL BISQUE
I found this recipe on allrecipes.com and added some additional ingredients. I tried to keep in mind the fat content. It's easy and I usually cook it in a crock pot. I have also used dried basil in place of fresh basil. I puree this soup using a hand held blender. Using this appliance, it maintains a chunky consistency. I would be interested in other ways to improve this recipe, as I have difficulty getting the basil flavor to stand out.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan, combine the crushed tomatoes, grape tomatoes, vegetable juice, carrots, brown sugar, and chicken broth.
- Bring to a boil then simmer for 30 minutes (or longer if carrots are not tender).
- Remove from heat, and stir in the basil. At this point, you may puree the soup if you wish. (I always puree.)
- Add the cream and low fat margarine or butter; return to medium-low heat, and stir until butter is melted.
- Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- Serve immediately.
