Instructions
Allow butter to melt in pot on Medium-High setting
Add and sauté garlic, onion, and carrots for approx. 5-7 minutes, or until they begin to "sweat."
Stir in tomato paste and allow flavors to meld together for another 3-5 minutes.
Pour in broth, water, and tomatoes, stirring everything to combine well.
Allow soup to boil, cover with a lid and reduce the heat until soup just simmers for 15 minutes.
Use this simmer time to prepare grilled cheese sandwiches, pasta, popcorn, or parmesan crisp add-ins.
To complete the soup, puree in pot with an immersion blender, or transfer small amounts and puree carefully in blender.
Once soup is smooth to your liking, stir in the heavy cream and allow the soup to simmer another 3-5 minutes.
Ladle hot soup into bowls and top with fresh parsley, basil, and any other add-ins your family prefers.
