How To Make Carrot and Orange Soup

This simple to make recipe can be made in a soup maker, or, if you don’t have one, a pan on the stove.

You can change up the taste a little more by adding in a few spices such as cumin, chilli, or even a little mixed spice.

What You Need

ingredients carrot and orange soup

Carrots – I don’t bother to peel them, I just give them a good wash and chop them up.
Onion/Garlic 
Potato – again, I don’t peel it. The potato is to thicken up the soup – leave it out if you prefer a thinner soup.
Orange Juice – you can either use orange juice freshly squeezed, or from a carton.
Stock I use vegetable stock, usually from a stock pot.
Optional Spices – you can add in what spices you like the best – I quite like adding in a chopped chilli, or dried chilli flakes. Mixed spices work well, especially for a Christmas soup.

Making It

In a Soup Maker:

Carrot Orange Ninja Soup Maker

If you have a soup maker, you know it is a case of just adding it all to the soup maker jug and pressing the smooth button! 

I have made a similar recipe to this in my Morphy Richards Soup Maker, as well as the Ninja Soup Maker.

If you are using a Morphy Richards Compact Soup Maker remember to reduce the quantities – check the recipe card notes for details.

You can optionally sauté the onions and garlic, depending on the type of soup maker you have.

In A Pan:

Use similar measurements, but you might want to increase them if you want to make a larger quantity. You may need to add a little more stock, just make sure the ingredients are all submerged.

Sauté the onion and garlic first before adding in the remaining ingredients. Bring to the boil before reducing to a simmer for about 25 minutes, or until everything is soft and tender. 

Use a hand blender or processor to blend the soup smooth. Add in extra water or stock if you want to change the consistency.

Carrot and orange soup is a delicious combination of the flavours of sweet and citrussy orange.

Ingredients

  • Optional spices (try cumin, chilli or mixed spices)
  • 300ml fresh orange juice
  • Vegetable stock (to the MAX line for soup makers)
  • Seasoning to taste

Instructions

In A Soup Maker

  1. Optionally sauté the onion and garlic in your soup maker.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients to the soup maker jug. (I added 1 tsp of mixed spices)
  3. Add a stock pot/cube and top up to the MAX line with hot water.
  4. Set off on smooth.

In A Pan

  1. Sauté the onion and garlic in a little butter or oil in a pan.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients and about 1 litre of vegetable stock.
  3. Bring to the boil before reducing to a simmer for about 25 to 30 minutes.
  4. Blend with a hand blender, or in a food processor (taking care not to burn yourself).
  5. Season according to taste.

Notes

*Carrots - I used 500g of carrots for the Ninja Soup Maker, you can add a little more if you are making it in a pan. In a Ninja Soup Maker this is a medium consistency soup, reduce the amount of carrots or leave out the potato if you prefer a thinner consistency, or add more if you prefer a thicker soup.

To Make In A Morphy Richards Compact Soup Maker


You will need to reduce the quantities to 2/3rds - use the following as approximates, taking care not to overfill your soup maker!

- 350g carrots, chopped

- 1/2 onion + 1 clove garlic, crushed

- 1 small potato, chopped

- 150ml orange juice

- Vegetable stock cube + hot water to MAX line

- Spices - optionally add in your choice of spices; cumin, chilli, mixed spices etc
