Creamy Tomato Basil Soup

(An old recipe that I really love)
Servings: 4

Ingredients:
1 leak
3 large tomatoes
2 carrots
2 large fresh sweet basil leaves
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp of cumin
2 cans tomatoe sauce
1 can vegetable broth
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup butter


Directions:
1.In a medium saucepan, fry the chopped leak and carrots over medium heat with the butter.
2.When carrots are soft, add the two can of tomato sauce and wait until it begins to boil as well.
3.Add the vegetable broth.
4.Chop the three tomatoes any way you like and add to the soup.
5.Add water to suit your preference of thickness in the soup. (Adding more water will yield soup for more people, but it might be thinner).
6.Bring to a boil.
7.Add cumin, fresh basil leaves, salt and pepper and let soup sit for 10 minutes in low-medium heat to absorb flavors.
8.When soup has reached the flavor you desire, remove from saucepan and run through the blender for a creamy, rich tomato basil soup!
