Tomato Carrot Basil Bisque

I found this recipe on allrecipes.com and added some additional ingredients. I tried to keep in mind the fat content. It's easy and i usually cook it in a crock pot. i have also used dried basil in place of fresh basil. I puree this soup using a hand held blender. Using this appliance, it maintains a chunky consistency. I would be interested in other ways to improve this recipe, as i have difficulty getting the basil flavor to stand out.

Steps

In a large saucepan , combine the crushed tomatoes , grape tomatoes , vegetable juice , carrots , brown sugar , and chicken broth.
Bring to a boil then simmer for 30 minutes.
Remove from heat , and stir in the basil.
At this point , you may puree the soup if you wish.
Add the cream and low fat margarine or butter.
Return to medium-low heat , and stir until butter is melted.
Add salt , pepper , and garlic powder to taste.
Serve immediately.
