Delicous Soup Recipe

I made a terrific and healthy carrot soup from the Silver Palate cookbook and wanted to share, make it and you won't be dissapointed!!

CARROT AND ORANGE SOUP
4 TBS butter
2 cups finely chopped yellow onion
12 large carrots, peeled and chopped
4 cups of chicken stock
1 cup of fresh orange juice
salt and pepper
grated orange zest to taste

Melt butter in pot. Add onoins and cover and cook over low for about 25 minutes until very soft and translucent. Add carrots and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until carrtos are tender, about 30 minutes. Pour soup through strainer and transfer solids to food processor and add in one cup of the cooking liquid and puree until smooth. Return mixture to pot and add in remaining cooking liquid (2-3 cups, to desired consistency). Season with salt and pepper and a bit or fresh orange zest. Heat soup through.
YUMMMY!!!
I noticed it got even better as it sat around a bit and the flavors marinated.
