Reaping a Gardener’s Rewards
Carrot-Orange Soup
2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
2 yellow onions, chopped
12 average (or 10 large) carrots, scrubbed and chopped
4 C vegetable broth
1 C fresh orange juice
½ tsp. sea salt
¼ tsp. freshly ground pepper
1 tsp. orange zest
Sauté the onions in the olive oil until tender. Add the carrots and vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the
heat to low and simmer 30-60 min. until the carrots are tender. Purée the mixture in a high-powered blender
until smooth. Return the mixture to the pot and add the orange juice, salt, pepper, and orange zest. Add water if
consistency needs to be thinner. Simmer until just heated through, then serve.
