wssmom's Notes:
Expand3 cups peeled and sliced potatoes Ask a question about this ingredient
2 cups peeled and sliced skinny carrots (the kind Bugs used to nibble on) Ask a question about this ingredient
1 cup sliced onion Ask a question about this ingredient
1 cup sliced leeks, white part only, washed to remove any grit Ask a question about this ingredient
5 cups water Ask a question about this ingredient
1 teaspoon kosher salt Ask a question about this ingredient
1 cara cara orange, juiced Ask a question about this ingredient
1 quarter-sized piece of crystallized ginger, chopped Ask a question about this ingredient
3/4 cup zero fat Greek style yogurt (you can add more if you like it thicker, or you can thin the soup after adding the yogurt with milk, if you prefer) Ask a question about this ingredient
chopped chives and/or pickled ginger to garnish Ask a question about this ingredient
Combine potatoes, onion, leeks and carrots with water in a large saucepan; add salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until veggies are very tender, from 30 to 40 minutes.
Ask a question about this stepAt this point, ask yourself: What would Bugs do? a) cool it down and puree in a blender with the orange juice and the ginger b) leave it in the saucepan and use a immersion blender to puree with the orange juice and the ginger, or c) Not wait for it to cool down but immediately puree with the orange juice and the ginger in a blender, taking the little plastic thing out of the center of the cover and holding the cover on with a folded towel so it doesn't erupt like an Acme blender would. (Correct response: C)
Ask a question about this stepIf you wish, you can pout it through a sieve, but you don't have to. Stir in yogurt, chill thoroughly, and serve forth garnished with chopped chives or pickled ginger (or both), whilst saying "Ahhhh .... what's up, doc?"

really great--tag this one vegetarian, too, and low fat (really no-fat) --there are people who look for those types of recipes.
