1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
1 c. freshly squeezed orange juice

Heat oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and potatoes; cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes or until onion is translucent. Stir in tomato, tarragon, garlic, stock, salt and pepper. Bring to boiling. Lower heat and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Working in batches, place soup in food processor or blender. Whirl until smooth.
