Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the soup until the carrots are completely tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Remove the pot from the heat and squeeze the juice of one fresh orange into the soup, stirring to incorporate the citrus.

Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and puree until completely smooth and velvety.
