The combination of orange and carrots might sound kind of weird but it’s worth a try. I like to make this soup on a cold fall day when I have a surplus of carrots. It’s a nice way to use them.

Ingredients:

30 ml butter
6 medium carrots sliced, about 900 ml
1 large chopped onion
5 ml orange zest, chopped
1 ml ground ginger
750 ml chicken stock
30 ml orange juice
30 ml lemon juice
Salt & pepper to taste
125 ml 35% cream
1 or 2 nice large oranges

Method:

Melt the butter in a medium sauce pan
Add the carrots, onion, orange zest and ginger and cook for 5 minutes
Add chicken stock, bring to boil and let simmer for 10 minutes, or until the carrots are cooked
Puree the soup in a food processor and add the orange and lemon juice
Adjust seasoning if required
To serve, add about 20 ml of cream and a nice orange slice to each bowl of soup
