Serve this soup to your family and tell them they are in the Caribbean.
They might believe you after they taste it, and some of them may not
want to come home afterwards.

Orange Consommé

4 cups (1 L) canned or fresh chicken stock
2 cups (500 ml) orange juice
1 Tbs (15 ml) orange zest, finely chopped
2 cloves
1 star anise*
1 orange, thinly sliced for garnish

* Available in the spice section of finer supermarkets and in Asian
specialty shops

Combine the chicken stock, orange juice, orange zest, cloves, and star
anise in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over moderate heat. Simmer for
5 minutes and strain into a non-metallic bowl. Chill in the refrigerator
