Orange Soup

This is a real winner when it comes to my family.  Everyone loves it.  On Sunday night I made a big pot of the stuff to get me through the first few days of the week being back at work after a weeks hiatus looking after a sick child.  The perfect winter warmer

Orange Soup

Ingredients
2 onions diced
2 cloves garlic
100g fat removed diced bacon
50g butter
6 large carrots peeled and diced
2 large potatoes diced
6 cups chicken stock
2 oranges juiced

Method
Saute the onions, garlic and bacon in the butter(or a little olive oil if you're focusing on reducing your calorie intake and cholesterol).  After about 5 minutes add the carrots and potatoes and saute for another couple of minutes.  Cover with the chicken stock and simmer until the vegetables are soft.  Season with salt and pepper.  Add the orange juice.  Blend with a kitchen whizz into a smooth orange bowl of loveliness.
