Tomato Carrot Soup
"Good warm and cold, this bright tasting soup can be made ahead and frozen.
Of course you can use fresh tomatoes instead of canned. In the absence of basil, parsley or chives would be an acceptable alternative.
I use a stick blender to purée this soup in the pot."

This soup is wonderful! Good for you, refreshing taste of fresh vegetables, and very easy to make. It is in my favorites file as of now. Thanks fayz! -
I tried to make this soup, following the recipe nearly exactly at first (only subbing flavourful veg broth for the chicken to make it vegetarian). I used very flavourful organic carrots, onion, tomatoes, and basil. But it was so bland. The only thing that saved this bland soup was two tablespoons of my Cajun spice blend. Then it was yummy.

At first I didn't, but it was so bland, I had to add lots of seasoning.
