Blood Orange Soup Recipe. The first time I saw a blood orange was in Italy at Villa d’Este on Lake Como in 1985. John asked for orange juice at breakfast and they brought what we thought was tomato juice. When our Italian and the waiter’s English were unequal to the task, he brought an orange, cut it open, and showed us the source. Slightly less acidic and fragrant with memories, blood oranges are my first choice when they’re available. In California, they begin to ripen in January and last until the first strawberries appear in spring.
