Delicious Carrot And Tomato Soup

Submitted by Charishma_Ramchandani

"REALLY GOOD! Just as a note, I'd like to add that for those people who suffer from uric acid problems(like my dear dad), I alter this recipe by using 2 large carrots instead of 1 and 3 small tomatoes instead of 3 medium and 1 small one. Also, I use 3 cups of water instead of 1.5. In the past few days, I have been making this soup so many times, and each time, it gets better and better and I wanted to share these ideas with all of you."
