Heat oil with chopped carrots and onion over medium heat in large pot.
Saute until vegetables begin to get soft.
Add basil, cans of tomatoes, and chicken broth to the vegetables.
Simmer for 30 minutes.
Add salt and pepper.
Pour contents into blender and blend until smooth. This takes me about 3 minutes taking short breaks in between to release heat from my blender. I have to do this in two batches in the blender.
Add heavy whipping cream to blender. Blend until thoroughly mixed.
Serve with homemade bread.
