Wiccans and Pagans will have a potluck at the drop of a pointy hat, so if it can be cooked and eaten, it's made...lol
The winter solstice markes the return of the sun, as it begins to make its way back towards the earth. Celebrate this festival of light with a nice rich bowl of Sun King Soup -- the bright sun colors and smooth texture are just the thing for either an appetizer, or a light meal at Yule.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 65 minutesIngredients:
3 Tbs butter (use real butter, not margarine)
1 small onion, diced
2 1/2 C. tomatoes, diced
1 C. vegetable broth
3/4 Orange juice, no pulp
A few sprigs rosemary
Paprika
Preparation:
Saute the onion in the butter over low heat. Chop tomatoes and add to the onions. Allow to cook until tomatoes become soft, just a few minutes. Add broth, and allow the whole thing to simmer over low heat for 30 minutes.
Transfer the entire mixture into a blender and puree, adding the orange juice. Return to stovetop, add rosemary, and simmer for about 5 - 10 more minutes. Add paprika to taste. Serve in warm bowls with a nice loaf of soft bread, or as part of a larger feast.
