Carrot Tomato Comfort Soup

My daughter loves tomato soup and this variation is great on days she's not feeling so great. It's filling and hearty. I make it all in the Brezza but in can easily be made by steaming the veggies and puréeing using other methods.

Yields 2 Servings

Ingredients:
-1 c baby carrots
-1 large tomato (peeled and chopped)
-2 oz heavy cream
-1 tbs parmesan cheese
-1/2 tsp lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
1) Clean veggies. Peel and chop tomatoes. I leave seeds in because they all get pureed to oblivion.
2) Steam carrots for approximately 15 minutes until tender. Drain liquid.
3) Add tomatoes to carrots and steam all for an additional 15  minutes. You want carrots very tender to make a smooth soup.
4) Puree tomatoes and carrots. Add all remaining ingredients and puree until smooth. If needed, add a splash of water to create desired soup consistency.
