Sweet Homemade Tomato Sauce

Don't tell my family, but several tasty spoonfuls of this sauce traveled from the blender to my tummy long before the dinner table was set.  For tonight's meal, we ate this sweet--and creamy?!--tomato sauce with chicken and rice.  Tomorrow, I'm thinking it will be delicious over ravioli or fish or meatloaf or even, if spiced up a bit, as a makeshift enchilada sauce.

Measurements are approximated, and feel free to make substitutions.  The onions and carrots really boosted the sweetness, and I believe the combination of the olive oil and blending accounted for the "creamy" quality that we found both delightful and a bit surprising.
