Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: For the best flavor, use fresh, organic carrots that are deep orange in color and free of blemishes.
  • Roast the carrots before adding them to the soup: Roasting the carrots intensifies their flavor and gives the soup a richer, more complex taste.
  • Use a good quality orange juice: Freshly squeezed orange juice is best, but you can also use a high-quality store-bought juice.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When roasting the carrots, make sure to spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. This will help them to roast evenly.
  • Season the soup to taste: The amount of salt and pepper you add will depend on your personal preference. Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs: Tarragon, cilantro, or parsley are all good choices. The herbs will add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.
