Carrot and Orange Soup
One of my favorite things to make in the winter is soup. There is something about soup that just warms the bones, and it leaves a wonderful aroma in the air that makes the house feel more homey! This is a delicious recipe that is light and refreshing for winter or summer. If you want to make it more hearty you can also serve it with ground walnuts. I often take this soup to work for my lunch and bring a little container of ground walnuts to sprinkle on top.
This recipe was adapted from a recipe I found on the International Vegetarian Union website.
Here are the ingredients you will need:
2 pounds of sliced carrots
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cups chopped onion
2 large celery stalks, diced
4 cups water
1 1//2 cups fresh orange juice
1 tsp each cumin, coriander, ginger
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 cup soymilk
Start by cooking onion and celery in olive oil on medium heat until transparent.
Add carrots, water, juice and spices and mix everything together.
Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on medium heat for about 30 minutes or until vegetables reach desired consistency.
Remove from heat, and blend with a hand blender until relatively smooth.
Return to stove and mix in soymilk.
Serve it hot or cold depending on your taste.
