Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Orange juice
Provides the main flavor, sweetness and acidity of the soup.
Tomato juice
Adds body and savory depth that balances the sweet orange juice.
White wine
Adds acidity and aromatic complexity to the chilled base.
Lemon juice
Brightens the flavor and sharpens the sweetness of the orange juice.

The step that matters

Whipping before serving. Whipping the chilled soup in a blender incorporates air and creates the frothy texture the recipe describes. Blending it too early, or skipping the whip, leaves the soup flat and dense. Chilling first keeps the mixture cold and stable while it is served.

Swap the white pepper

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (orange, tomato, white wine, lemon, sugar, parsley):

  1. Thymefits better
  2. Marjoramfits better
