Outrageous Orange Soup Recipe
I have found it best to just serve this Carrot Soup dish as an appetizer before the main and not tell people what it is made from. This carrot soup has slowly become a holiday tradition.
Outrageous Orange Soup Recipe (aka Ken’s Killer Carrot Soup Recipe)
Carrots 4 cups peeled and cut into chunks 1/2- 2 inch lengths or just use a bag of peeled baby carrots.
Onion (white or yellow) cut into 1/4-1/2 slices
Fill pot with low sodium chicken broth or enough water plus 3-4 chicken bullion cubes so that all the veggies are covered by 2-3 inches of fluid.
Add:
2-4 Tablespoons of Tomato Paste
1/4-1/2 cup of raw white rice
1 Teaspoon up to a Tablespoon of ground Paprika
Cook on medium to low heat until fork penetrates carrots easily. If rushed for time saute the carrots and onions in butter, olive or coconut oil for 5 minutes before chicken broth or water.
Add the soup mixture to blender in small batches and puree. Return soup to a warming pot until ready to serve.
Recommended: Season heavily to taste with fresh ground black or white pepper at least 2 Teaspoons.
Optional:
Add 1/2 cup of heavy cream if desired
1 Teaspoon of Cinnamon
Garnish with carrot peelings, scallions, panko breadcrumbs
Option #2
If this recipe becomes less exciting over time, throw in a cup or two of toasted coconut prior to blending.
Serving Suggestion:
Freshly baked sourdough bread
