Surprisingly Simple Tomato Soup

I was inspired to make this soup , as I am looking to eat a little more health consciously. Here's the recipe.

Ingredients:
1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
2 large carrots - peeled and sliced
1 large onion - chopped
1 clove or garlic - chopped
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
On medium heat, combine onion, garlic, and carrots in a pot. Let this cook about 10 minutes, or until the onions are soft. Add the chicken broth and can of crushed tomatoes. Let this cook about 2 or 3 minutes, or until heated through. Transfer the soup to a bowl and puree with an immersion blender or in a blender until you have the desired consistency. Transfer back into the pot and add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Serve with croutons or bread.

1 serving = 1 cup = roughly, 130 calories
