Yummy! Served it cold with garlic chives sprinkled on top. I did cut the OJ to 1/4 cup which I think helped to emphasize the other flavors.

I make a similar carrot soup to this but only 1 onion and cut orange juice (fresh) back to half a cup. Also add some grated orange rind before serving. This way the orange does not overpower the other flavors.

Two onions is too many for this recipe. Mine came out very oniony, overpowering the carrot taste. I suggest adding just one onion. Also, while the cinnamon adds a nice touch of flavor, the brown-tinted spice discolors the soup. Mine went from a deep hearty orange to an unappetizing ochre after the addition.

I don't know what I could have done to make this recipe less then a 1 star. With the ingredients that we all like, but something went terribly wrong, It couldn't have been any worse. A waste of good food.

I liked this recipe, but I did change a lot about it. Instead of cutting up my vegetables, I pureed them in my blender (I wanted a creamy soup without chunks). I didnt use actual chicken broth. Instead I used 1 1/2 cup of half and half. I replaced the chicken broth with chicken broth flavoring, using one teaspoon. The orange juice idea scared me, so I only added about 1/4 cup of orange juice. I also ended up adding more cinnamon. But this is a great recipe to follow if you know what you are doing and you love adding extras!

Wish I'd read the reviews first. My instincts said that the oj would overpower it and it did. How can so many rate this 4 stars, then change the recipe so much?

This is a tasty soup! I did make a few changes, however: 1 onion instead of 2, used a liberal amount of "pumpkin spice" instead of just cinnamon (pumpkin spice = cinnamon, nutmeg, and something else?), added one tsp. of salt, fresh ginger instead of candied, two dashes of cayenne pepper for spice, the juice of one fresh navel orange instead of OJ, and lastly, I used 1/4 cup real whipping cream and a little bit of skim milk. I will definitely make this again! Be sure to blend it well; the end result is better than at some of the top restaurants I've eaten in!
