Carrot-Orange Soup image

I like to make this soup as a starter when I have guests. It can easily be made in advance, but only add creme fraiche, orange juice, and orange zest right before serving.

I'm not sure about this recipe. The combination of carrots and oranges seems a bit strange to me.

This carrot orange soup is a must-try! The flavors are so well-balanced and the texture is creamy and smooth. I added a bit of extra ginger and it really gave the soup a nice kick. Will definitely be making this again!
