Sun King Soup
The winter solstice markes the return of the sun, as it begins to make its way back towards the earth. Celebrate this festival of light with a nice rich bowl of Sun King Soup -- the bright sun colors and smooth texture are just the thing for either an appetizer, or a light meal at Yule.
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 Tbs butter (use real butter, not margarine)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 1/2 C. tomatoes, diced
- 1 C. vegetable broth
- 3/4 Orange juice, no pulp
- A few sprigs rosemary
- Paprika
PREPARATION:
Saute the onion in the butter over low heat. Chop tomatoes and add to the onions. Allow to cook until tomatoes become soft, just a few minutes. Add broth, and allow the whole thing to simmer over low heat for 30 minutes.
Transfer the entire mixture into a blender and puree, adding the orange juice.
Return to stovetop, add rosemary, and simmer for about 5 - 10 more minutes. Add paprika to taste. Serve in warm bowls with a nice loaf of soft bread, or as part of a larger feast.
