ingredients
1 pounds organic baby carrots
2 stalks celery minced
1 teaspoons ginger grated
1 shallot minced
2 teaspoons kosher salt
0.5 teaspoons white pepper
1 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoons butter
1 chicken stock
0.25 cup white wine
0.13 cup orange juice
directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375. Place carrots on a baking sheet, and drizzle with olive oil. Roast until tender and caramelized (shake the pan about halfway through to evenly roast); about 30-45minutes. Set aside. In a Dutch oven, heat about 1 Tbsp olive oil and the butter.
Step 2
Cook the shallots until tender-about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the celery and fresh ginger and cook another 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Season with about 2 tsp. coarse salt and white pepper. Add the wine to the Dutch oven and reduce by half then add the chicken or vegetable stock and the carrots. Bring the soup to a boil, then down to a simmer. Simmer for about 15 minutes.
Step 5
If you have an immersion blender, you can easily puree the carrots. The soup will be very thick.
Step 6
Add the white wine (if using) and then the orange juice. Taste, and adjust seasonings to your liking. Garnish with fresh chives or chervil, if desired.
