skinny tomato basil soup

My oldest is away at college so my second oldest who always wanted to be the oldest is trying to fill her shoes.  One of the ways she's doing so is by baking on Sunday after church which is what the oldest always did.  Second oldest made some bread sticks and wondered if we had any tomato soup in the house.  I don't buy the canned tomato soup or boxed tomato soup because it's so loaded with added sugar.  I suggested that maybe I should make some and all three kids cheered.

skinny tomato basil soup (slightly adapted from theskinnyfork.com)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
3/4 cup carrots, shredded
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 (14.5 ounce) cans petite diced tomatoes
2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
3 ounces light cream cheese

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat.  Add the onion, carrots and garlic.  Cook until the veggies are tender.  Add the canned tomatoes, chicken broth and the seasonings.  Bring the soup to a boil.  Cover and reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes.  Add the cream cheese.  Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy.  Serve and enjoy.
