Preparation
Melt butter in a large saucepan. Sauté onion, garlic and carrots. Cook over medium heat until vegetables are soft, about 7 min.
Add tomato sauce, drained, chopped peppers and broth. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 min. Remove from heat and process in 2 batches in the food processor until fairly smooth.
Pour soup through a sieve, back into the saucepan pressing with the back of a spoon to extract all the liquid. Return soup to medium heat, stir in cream and orange juice. Season with salt and pepper.
