ingredients

  • 1 pounds organic baby carrots
  • 2 stalks celery, minced
  • 1 teaspoons ginger, grated
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoons white pepper
  • 1 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoons chicken stock
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1/8 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.
