Carrot and Ginger Soup with Limes and
Clementines December, 2001 Serves 4 / Grated zest of limes and clementines add spark to this golden, gingery soup.

Heat butter and oil in a saucepan, add onions and a pinch of salt, and cook until softened and golden. Add ginger and carrots and sauté a few minutes more.
