Are we eating light for the New Year?  And by “we,” I mean you and me?  It’s a given for me.  I’ve got this beach vacation coming up… and there is nothing more awful than feeling fat on the beach.  So I’m doing my best to shed whatever poundage I can before I hang out at the beach!  Recipes like this Carrot Orange Soup are perfect for those who are watching their calories as the New Year begins.  You know… us! I love this soup recipe for a few reasons. 1.  It’s completely comforting and filling, which is great for a lighter soup. 2.  The color is mesmerizing. 3.  The orange flavor pairs nicely with the carrots, and I dig the hint of cinnamon too.

The texture of this soup is thick. I prefer if that way because it seems more like eating than slurping.  If you’d like a thinner soup, you can simply add in more broth.  Enjoy your soup and eat it too!
