Number Of Ingredients 7

4 Tbsp sweet butter
2 cups finely chopped yellow onion
12 large carrots, 1 1/2-2 lbs, peeled and chopped
4 cups chicken stock *(you can substitute veggie stock)
1 cup fresh orange juice
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
grated fresh orange zest to taste

Steps:

1. Melt the butter in a pot. Add the onions, cover and cook over low heat until tender and lightly colored, about 25 minutes. 2. Add carrots and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until carrots are very tender, about 30 minutes. 3. Pour the soup through a strainer and transfer the solids to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add 1 cup of the cooking stock and process until smooth. 4. Return puree to the pot and add the orange juice and additional stock, 2 to 3 cups, until soup is of desired consistency. 5. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add orange zest. Simmer until heated through. Serve immediately.
