Notes

This simple carrot orange soup can be made without much difficulty, but I do have a few extra tips to share:
Always keep frozen onions on hand. If you're extra tired, having pre-chopped onions can make all the difference in the world! No need to defrost before using.
Feel free to use frozen carrots, too! To make this an entirely pantry friendly meal, frozen carrots are a great way to go because they are already prepped. You can also opt to use baby carrots, which are similarly sized and small enough for the saucepan.
Dress it up with a little garnish. Take a meal that looks vibrant (albeit plain) to a restaurant worthy dish with a quick drizzle of cream or cold pressed olive oil, some fresh coriander leaves, or a dollop of sour cream or greek yogurt.
Give it time. This orange and carrot soup will taste even better after a night in the fridge.
