I love the combination of the sweetness of the tangerine juice
and the acidity of the tomatoes in this quick recipe. It's easy
enough to dish up every day, and elegant enough to serve to
special guests.

Tomato and Tangerine Soup

1 Tbs (15 ml) olive oil or butter
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tsp (5 ml) curry powder
4 cups (1 L) chopped canned tomatoes with their liquid
2 cups (500 ml) chicken stock
1 cup (250 ml) tangerine juice (from 4 to 6 tangerines)
1 Tbs (15 ml) grated tangerine zest
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Sour cream or yogurt for garnish

Heat the oil in a large pot over moderate heat and saute the
onion until tender but not brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the
curry powder and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and
chicken stock and bring to a simmer. Stir in the tangerine
juice, zest, salt, and pepper and bring to a simmer. Serve
hot or cold, garnished with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt if desired.
Serves 4 to 6.
