All orange spiced carrot soup

I bought carrots last week, and when I looked at them this morning... ewww, not good. They weren't rotten or anything, just extremely dry and hard and definitely not looking like they'd do a great job as carrots. So into a soup they went ! In the summer I put tomatoes in it as well, but I've learned to NOT buy tomato when it's not the season, because they taste like cardboard - or worse. You could add canned tomatoes if you want.

All orange spiced carrot soup
10-15 carrots
5 oranges
3 potatoes (for a creamier texture)
1 cup almond cream -or almond milk
1 cube chicken stock
cinnamon, black pepper, ground chili pepper

Peel and sorta slice the carrots - you don't have to make thin slices, it will all get puréed in the end.  Put them in a pressure cooker. Peel the oranges and add the quarters to the carrots. Peel the potatoes, dice them, add them to the rest. Add 4-5 cups of water and the chicken broth, close the pressure cooker, cook for 20 to 30 minutes. Add spices to taste and the almond cream. Mix using a hand mixer (or something else, you choose your weapon). Serve.

Prep time : 30 minutes. Cooking time : by the time the older has finished his sausage, the vegetables were ready to be mixed. The baby loooved the soup. That's the neat thing about soups, I can serve the exact same thing to everyone in the family, them being 9 months or 32 years old.

ETA : that was a LOT of soup ! It serves at least 6, more likely 8 people.
