Ingredients

Recipe

1. Bring broth and orange juice to a rolling boil. Add rice and carrots.
2. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and continue cooking for another 15 minutes, or until carrots and rice are soft (brown rice will take longer to cook, and will absorb more liquid, so you may need to add a little more broth).
3. Add Wozz! Thai Orange and ginger simmer 5 minutes, stir in coconut milk.
   Puree the soup in batches in your blender or with a hand blender. Return soup to stove top.
4. Re-warm soup over medium heat. Add the fish sauce, soy sauce and lime juice to taste. 
   (Add more fresh chili or chili sauce if not spicy enough)
5. Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with fresh coriander, basil and peanuts and serve.
