Time 3h30m

Yield 4 servings (about 5 1/2 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium carrots, diced into 1/4-inch pieces
2 large shallots, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups orange juice
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 teaspoons tomato paste
One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
1/2 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons maple syrup
Zest of 1/2 small orange

Steps:

  • For the soup: In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, shallots, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the carrots are softened, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the chicken broth, orange juice, basil, maple syrup, tomato paste and the tomatoes (with juice). Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
  • Using an immersion blender or food processor, puree the soup until smooth. Cool the soup to room temperature until ready to serve, about 1 hour. Season the soup with salt and pepper.
  • For the yogurt topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, maple syrup and orange zest until smooth.
  • Ladle the soup into chilled bowls and top with a dollop of the yogurt mixture.
  • When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

I'm not a fan of chilled soups. I prefer my soup hot and steamy.

This soup sounds delicious, but I'll have to omit the orange. I'm allergic.

This soup looks a bit too complicated for me. I'll probably stick to my regular tomato soup recipe.
