• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 onion, chopped
• 1⁄2 cup grapefruit juice (one grapefruit)
• 1 cup carrot, chopped
• 1 cup potato, chopped
• 3 cups chicken broth

directions

1. In large saucepan, cook onion until tender (about 2 mins).
2. Add grapefruit juice and simmer 2 minutes.
3. Add potato & carrots and chicken broth. there should be enough broth to cover the veggies, if not, add more.
4. Boil for several minutes until veggies are very soft. You may have to add some extra broth -- the idea is to keep the veggies covered.
5. Put the whole thing into a blender and puree.
6. Can serve with a little cream swirled on top for a special touch. I've also added croutons for some crunch.

This soup is quite good. The name of it gives you the impression that it will taste like grapefruit and carrot, but it tastes more like a potato and chicken based soup with a hint of carrot and a little bit of tang from the grapefruit.
