In a large stockpot, over medium heat, melt the coconut oil and saute onions until translucent.  Add the carrot, sea salt, and pepper.  Continue to cook until carrots begin to soften.  Add canned tomatoes and stock to bring to a boil.  Reduce heat to a simmer.  Add coconut milk and simmer a few minutes more.
Transfer, in batches, to a high speed blender (Vitamix is my favorite), adding red pepper flakes, the best balsamic you can find, and fresh basil.  Puree until smooth.
