Carrot and Coriander Soup

16/10/2016 / / 0 Comments

This is for when someone bought more carrots when we already had a bag. This makes enough for four large bowls:

  • 500g carrots, sliced. No need to peel, just wash grit off
  • 1 onion
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1.25 litres vegetable stock (I use Marigold bouillon powder)
  • Chopped fresh coriander

This is very easy. Just chop the onion and sweat in butter or oil in a heavy pan for a few minutes. Add the ground coriander, sweat for another minute then add the stock. Bring to the boil and simmer covered for 30 minutes. Whiz in a blender or use a stick blender. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Chop and add the fresh coriander. Tastes very carroty!

Very nice with bread and cheese from Cowdray farm shop….
