Ginger, honey and carrot soup

My darling friend Roro in Israel made this delicious soup today for lunch.  Since its so cold over there she served it hot but I think it would make a yummy cold soup served with toasted French bread slices for summer too.

Recipe as is, from Ro.

Ingredients

• 1 Onion chopped up (I use red)
• 5 Carrots peeled and sliced into rounds
• Root of fresh ginger (or as much as you would like)
• 4 Spoons honey
• Orange juice of 1 orange (I just cut up the orange and add it in)
• Lemon rind
• 1 litre water
• Salt and Pepper

Method

• Fry onions in butter/olive oil until golden brown
• Add ginger and carrots and cook for five minutes
• Add honey, juice and lemon rinds
• Add water and salt and pepper and cook until carrots are tender.
• Take off heat and blend
