recipe: Carrot & Orange Soup


This recipe is a bit unusual, but if you are looking for a makeover on a normal carrot soup, try it. Besides it's really, really healthy and low fat!

Serves 4: 1Kg carrots peeled & chopped, 1 onion chopped, 2 tsp olive oil, 1 orange, 1 vegetable stock cube, 1.5L water, chopped parsley, salt and pepper to season and nice garlic bread to serve

1. Heat oil in a large sauce pan. Add onion and cook until soft;
2. Add carrots, stock cube, water and 2 orange peels. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes or until carrots are soft;

3. Remove orange peel and blend the soup until you have a puree - you might need to add more water if necessary.
4. Add the juice of the orange, chopped parsley, season with salt and pepper and serve.

PS - Thanks to my lovely 'elf' helper for reminding me to include the JUICE of the orange in the recipe...
