1. Heat butter in a large saucepan. Add the onion and carrot; saute until tender about 5 minutes. Set a food mill over the saucepan and puree the tomatoes. (I just usually put in blender or food processor and puree). Add the chicken broth. Heat to simmering.
2. Heat the cream in a small saucepan until simmering; gradually whisk into the tomato mixture; DO NOT BOIL.
3. Add the acini di pepe and heat through. Add salt to taste.
4. Sprinkle each serving with plenty of black pepper.
