Carrot Juice

I have so many root vegetables from my farm share and I'm beginning to have more carrots than I know what to do with.  So I decided to day would be a good day to make homemade carrot juice - without a juicer.  After a quick google search I found THIS recipe.

Clean Carrots

Blend with a small amount of water if necessary.

Add some hot water and let steep for 15-30 minutes. 

Strain the pulp.

Add the juice of two freshly squeezed oranges.

Add a pinch of ginger; some more water (if you like your carrot juice more diluted) and some ice.  No sugar necessary.  Carrots are already naturally high in sugars - so it's a very sweet and refreshing beverage.

We like my version of creamy carrot soup.
Saute onions and garlic in a pot. Then add sliced carrots and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add brown rice. I use almost 1/2 cup to 1 quart broth. When rice is cooked puree soup.
If you add too much rice the spoon will stand up in the rice and you have made a carrot pudding.

That looks really good!
