Carrot Soup with Orange and Tarragon

This vibrant carrot soup with orange and tarragon offers a sophisticated twist on a classic vegetable starter. The natural sweetness of the carrots is beautifully lifted by the zesty notes of orange juice and a subtle hint of brandy, creating a complex and warming flavour profile. It is an excellent choice for a light lunch or an elegant first course when entertaining, providing a bright splash of colour to the table during the cooler months.

As a dairy-free dish, this recipe is naturally light yet surprisingly creamy once blended. The addition of fresh tarragon brings a delicate, anise-like aroma that perfectly balances the earthy root vegetables. Serve this homemade soup piping hot with a slice of crusty granary bread or a few seed crackers for a nutritious and comforting meal that is as healthy as it is delicious.
