Carrot-Orange Soup

I used to own Campagna Home, a take-out shop across from Campagna, my former restaurant in New York City. It was like an Italian alimentari, a type of deli common in Italy where you can buy prepared foods. Every day one of my cooks made this soup. When I took it off the menu to make room for something new, my customers complained vociferously. When I saw how popular it was, I created a ravioli dish with the same flavors, which I now serve at Coco Pazzo.

Ingredients
6  carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
1  medium yellow onion, cut into 1-inch dice
1  leek, white part only, well washed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1  medium parsnip, peeled and cut into 1-inch dice
1  large potato, peeled and cut into 1-inch dice
8 cups chicken stock or low-sodium organic chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup orange juice
1  bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
 pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
 pinch of ground cinnamon
1  navel orange, washed and halved, seeds removed
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
Directions
Place all the ingredients except for the orange zest in a 6- to 8-quart stockpot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until all the vegetables are very soft, about 25 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaf and orange halves.

Transfer 4 cups of the solids to a blender or food processor. Process until completely smooth and silky, gradually adding broth from the pot as necessary. Pour the soup into a large bowl or container. Repeat until all the soup has been pureed. If necessary, gently reheat the soup.

Ladle into soup bowls, sprinkle with the orange zest, and serve immediately.
