Add Vegetables Add the chopped tomatoes and carrots to the pot. Stir well and cook for 5 minutes, letting the tomatoes soften and release their juices. Incorporate Liquid Pour in the vegetable stock or water and add tomato paste. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Blend the Soup Once the vegetables are tender, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a blender (in batches if needed), and blend carefully.
