Carrot, Orange and Ginger Soup

This soup is full of nutrients, perfect for boosting your immune system mid winter. The orange and ginger flavour really comes through, so it adds a little extra to a carrot soup, as well as adding extra vitamins, anti inflammatory properties and aiding digestion.

Ingredients

(Makes 4 servings)

3 carrots, diced

1/2 litre of vegetable stock (I use 2 tsp of Bouillon in 500ml of water)

1 onion, finely chopped

1-2 tsp grated fresh ginger root

juice of 1 orange

Method

1. Bring the vegetable stock to the boil in a large saucepan, and add the carrots and onion. Simmer for 20 minutes until soft

2. Blitz the ingredients in a food processor or using a stick blender, depending how smooth you like your soup. This wasn't blitzed for long, so it retained some texture.

3. Stir in the ginger and orange juice, and simmer for a further 5 minutes. Season to taste and serve!
