For those slightly colder days and nights you might want to try this ...

Utensils and Cooking Equipment
- One large saucepan
- Blender
Recipe Instructions
- Cook onions and carrots in stock until tender
- Stir in oranges or juice, and sugar; pepper and salt to taste
- Pour into blender and liquidize (alternatively, rub through sieve to purée)
- Stir in cream and reheat but do not boil
- Serve hot or cold, garnish with parsley
This soup should be pretty thick in texture - someone called it a "solid soup" when we served it once - and if you want a sharper version substitute lemons or lemon juice for the some of the oranges and sugar.
