The Clockwork Orange” Soup

Carrot-Orange Ginger Soup

Carrot-Orange soup is simply delicious. The aroma and tanginess of the orange along with the heat of the ginger are the hero of this soup!
The addition of orange rind strenghtens the flavour with a hint of bitterness cutting through the sweetness of orange and complimenting the heat from ginger. I have not added any milk or cream.
I’ve added butter in the end to make the soup a bit more creamier.

The slightly tough part is seperating the white portion of the orange rinds. The white part is the pith which is very bitter. I’ve tried my best to show how it can be done through the pictures.
This soup had an intrinsic balance of sourness, bitterness and that heat!!
All you need is :-

2-3 medium sized peeled carrots
Orange rinds
Very very little chopped ginger
Salt to taste
Black pepper powder
1 Butter cube

1. Keep all the ingredients ready. Peel the Orange rind by removing the white part.
2. Chop some gingers and onions.
3. Pressure all the above ingredients for 15 minutes (medium flame- 4 whistles) by adding some salt and black pepper.
4. Remove the Orange rinds from the mixture.
5. Put the ingredients into the blender and make it to a fine soupy-paste.
6. In a pan, add some butter and pour the pasty ingredient on to the pan.
7. You can add a bit of sugar and two spoons of Orange juice to this mixture and keep under lower flame for 2 minutes.
