directions
- Wash the carrots and cut it up into chunks. (If you are using non-organic carrots, peel them.) Chunk up the onion and potatoes also.
- Put the vegetables, stock cubes, parsley and bay leaf into a pot and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until all the vegetables are very tender, about 40 minutes.
- Peel and grate the ginger. Add it and the cardamon to the soup.
- Purée the soup with a stick blender or in batches in your mixer or food processor. (If you use a food processor, you may need to pass it through a sieve to make it smooth.).
- Return to the heat and stir in the orange juice. Season to taste. Swirl in the cream just before serving.

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
