This was served on Dec 1 with Al & Ross



Tomato Soup with Orange & Basil



3 1/2
tablespoons orange zest, grated

6
tablespoons orange juice

1/4
teaspoon crushed red pepper, to taste

2
teaspoons basil, dried

2
tablespoons fresh basil, sliced

1/4
cup olive oil

2/3
cup carrot, chopped

2
teaspoons garlic, chopped

1 1/2
cups onions, chopped

2
28 oz. cans tomatoes, drained & chopped

6
cups chicken stock




Instructions

In a large pot, heat oil add onions, and carrots cook until softened. Add garlic, dried basil and red pepper, cook another minute. Add stock, tomatoes, 2 teaspoons of orange peel and a pinch of sugar. Simmer uncovered for about 25 minutes. Puree soup, stir in orange juice. Season with additional sugar and salt. Serve and garnish with basil and orange peel.


I use a Proctor/Silex hand blender to Puree, available at Kinney or anywhere for $15. You can blend in your cooking pot and just rinse it off making easy cleanup. a Very handy kitchen tool.
