Easy Tomato Soup

Carrots and onions join juicy tomatoes in this healthy and veggie filled soup.

Try using an immersion blender to whirl up this soup to a smooth or chunky consistency. It's easy and safe for kids to use. The bit of brown sugar stirred in at the end balances the acidity. Hold the vinegar until you taste the soup; because tomatoes vary in acidity, you might not need it.
