Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 pounds carrots -- thinly sliced

2 tablespoons Light Olive Oil -- or fragrant nut oil

2 cups chopped onions

2 large celery stalks -- diced

1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice

1/4 cup dry white wine

1 teaspoon Ground Cumin

1 Teaspoon Coriander

1 Teaspoon Ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 cup Milk -- low fatt or rice milk, or soymilk, or as needed

Salt -- to taste

Freshly Ground Pepper -- to taste

3 tablespoons Fresh Parsley -- minced

3 tablespoons Scallion -- finely minced

 

Reserve and set aside about 1/2 pound of the carrots. Heat the oil in a large

soup pot. Add the onions and celery and sauté over moderate heat, stirring

frequently, until golden. Add the carrots (except for the reserved batch), along

with 4 cups of water, the juice, wine, and spices. Bring to a boil, then cover

and simmer over moderate heat until the vegetables are quite tender, about 30

minutes. Transfer in batches to the container of a food processor or blender and

puree until quite smooth. Return to low heat and stir in enough milk to give the

soup a medium-thick consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let the

soup stand off the heat for several hours before serving. Just before serving,

steam the reserved carrots until crisp tender and stir into the soup along with

the parsley and scallion. Taste to correct consistency and seasonings before

serving.
