Carrot & Orange Soup

[toliveordiet?]

I have just done the Carrot & Orange Soup that I think I found on MiniMins and the whole family thought it was delicious. It is even good enough as a starter when you are entertaining.

Anyway, I wanted to write and say thanks to whoever it was that posted it but I couldn't find it again - if it was you, THANKS IT'S GREAT!!!

Just in case it wasn't on here I have posted it below:

Wanted to try this soup out, but just wondering why it would be 2 syns for the juice of 2 oranges?

 

[metrognome]

because orange juice has syns

Sorry don't mean to be a pain, but even if the orange juice is freshly squeezed from the orange?

i wouldnt have thought so i would presume it would be free

No I'm afraid you still need to syn the orange juice irrespective of whether you are drinking it or using it in a recipe. And it doesn't matter if it's freshly squeezed or not.

 

[mrs lever]

oh right i wouldnt have thought that because you can squeeze lemon juice into a recipe and it still be free, thank you i could have gone over syns if i had made this

Probably because you could quite happily down the juice of several oranges in a sitting but would'nt really want to do the same with a lemon
