Carrot Orange Ginger Soup, Carrot Soup recipe

Carrot Orange Ginger Soup is simply divine. Its a very light soup with its aromas wafting through the air when you serve it. I never intended to sound poetic. Its one of the most easiest soups to make. The addition of orange rind heightens the flavor. The essential oils of the orange is found in its skin. I like to add orange zest or rind in my recipes wherever it suits fit. It makes the dish “wow”. I did not add butter or cream in this soup. I have kept it a very light soup. You can add cream or butter in the end to make it a little rich. Here is how to make Carrot Orange Ginger Soup.

Get all the ingredients ready. Peel the rind from an orange. Peel only the orange part of the skin. The white part is the pith and pith is very bitter. Make sure you are not peeling the pith as the soup will become bitter. Set aside. Use 2 big carrots or 3 medium sized carrots for this recipe. Do not add lot of ginger. Just a little piece would do. Take a pressure cooker and add in all the main ingredients. Add in a cup of water. Cook for 2 whistles on medium flame. It will take about 5-6 minutes. Wait for the pressure from the cooker to settle naturally.

Open the Cooker and remove the orange rind. Discard the rind. The rind with the pith tastes bitter when pureed. So do not add in the rind while pureeing. Puree the soup in a blender. Check for seasoning. Add in the orange juice and mix well. Garnish the soup with coriander leaves.

Serve Carrot Orange Ginger Soup with some toasted bread or croutons.
