Carrot Ginger Soup

Urska made the Carrot Ginger Soup featured here. K says it was absolutely delicious !.  Thank you for sending me the picture and the link from Simply Recipes .  I love thick soups and plan to make it over the weekend.


Recipe reproduced from Simply Recipes - To serve 4-5 persons

Ingredients:

Unsalted butter - 3 tbsp
Carrots - 6-7 large carrots, peeled and sliced thin
White Onion - 2 cups - chopped
Salt - to taste
Ginger - 1 tsp - minced
Stock - 2 cups - either vegetarian or chicken
Water - 2 cups
Orange zest - about 3 large strips
Herbs - parsley, dill, chives or fennel for garnish

Melt butter in a pot over medium heat, cook the onions and carrot with occasional stirring until the onions soften ( takes 5-8 mins)
Do not let either the carrots or the onions brown - sprinkle a teaspoon of salt as they cook to prevent this
Add stock, water, ginger and orange zest
Bring to boil, simmer, cover and cook until carrots soften ( about 20 mins)

Remove the strips of orange zest and discard

Work in small batches.
Pour soup into blender and purée  till completely smooth.  
Take care to fill only 1/3 with the hot liquid and ensure that it does not spill over.

Check for salt and add more if required.

Garnish and serve with your favourite bread.

  4. Delicious looking soup ! Radha your version of the soup is slightly different from the one I prepared recently. I am sure the orange jest will give the soup the extra zing.
