Carrot-Orange Soup image

I like to make this soup as a starter when I have guests. It can easily be made in advance, but only add creme fraiche, orange juice, and orange zest right before serving.

I'm not a huge fan of carrot soup, but this recipe was actually pretty good. I liked the addition of orange.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

Easy to make and very tasty. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still delicious.
