    Naturally sweet and brightened with warm spices and citrus, this soup really hits the mark.

    Ingredients

    • 2 T. olive oil
    • 1/2 c. shallot - fine chop
    • 2 cloves garlic - fine chop
    • 2 t. coriander seeds - crushed
    • 1 t. ground turmeric
    • 1/4 t. ground cayenne
    • 1 t. orange zest (I had Clementines on hand)
    • 1 1/2 lbs carrots - cleaned and thin sliced
    • 1 1/2 c. sweet potato- peeled and cubed (1 large potato)
    • 1 c. dry white wine
    • 2 c. low sodium chicken stock
    • 3 T orange juice (from citrus previously used for zest)
    • 1/4 t. salt
    • 1/4 t. pepper
    • 2 T. fresh cilantro - minced
    • 1 T. heavy cream

    Directions

    1. In heavy pot, heat oil to medium.
    2. Saute shallot for 2 minutes until translucent.
    3. Add garlic and saute 1-2 minutes without burning. (If you burn, start over, it'll ruin the taste of this soup)
    4. Add coriander, turmeric, cayenne and orange zest. Stir well to coat onions. Saute for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
    5. Add carrots and saute 3-4 minutes.
    6. Deglaze pan with wine. Allow mixture to boil for 3 minutes.
    7. Pour in chicken stock. Reduce heat to simmer.
    8. Cover and let simmer 20 minutes.
    9. Add sweet potato and orange juice, replace cover and allow to simmer another 20 minutes.
    10. Add salt and pepper.
    11. Use an immersion blender to liquify the soup.
    12. Add chopped cilantro.
    13. Taste and adjust seasoning.
    14. Serve and garnish with drizzle of heavy cream or tsp of sour cream/ yoghurt.
