Creamy Spinach and Carrot Soup

In 2-quart saucepan, melt butter.

Add onions.

Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender (5 to 6 minutes). Stir in flour until smooth and bubbly (1 minute). Stir in half and half and chicken broth. Add remaining ingredients except orange peel. Continue cooking over low heat, stirring occasionally, until soup is heated through (12 to 15 minutes). Garnish with zest or strip of orange peel.

Serves 4.
