This soup is very light,healthy and simple clear soup,perfect for the cold weather here with less ingredients,my daughter specially luves this tomato & carrot combination soup and she keeps saying me to make this everynow and then.When she was not well a couple of weeks back i made this for her and it really helped her in all means.She liked sipping the soup whole day and i was relieved a bit.

2-3 medium size tomatoes ( preferable little ripened )
1 large carrot or 2 small ones
