Hello everyone! Tonight, I'd like to share with you another recipe for a delicious carrot and coriander soup. This blend of vegetables and spices is very simple and so satisfying.
The soup itself is easy to make and even a complete beginner can master it.
It will make a perfect lunch or a weeknight dinner, as it takes less than 30mins to cook!
Carrots are the main ingredient here, giving the soup beautiful vibrant color and sweet taste. Make sure you chop them quite finely, as carrots usually take long to cook - the smaller they are, the faster they cook.
I like to use a couple of potatoes to thicken it up. Potatoes cook much quicker than carrots, so they can be cut into dices.
Lastly, I am using chicken stock in this recipe, however, it can be changed for vegetable stock too - which makes it vegetarian/vegan, depending on the stock used!

Easy carrot and coriander soup
Ingredients
- 4 large carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1.5 l chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds, ground
- 3 tablespoon sunflower or vegetable oil
- salt, black pepper , to taste
- 1 handful fresh coriander (chopped), or 2 teaspoon dried coriander leaves
Instructions

- Take the pot of the heat and place it on a heat-proof surface. Using a stick blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and thick. If using a mixer, blend it in at least 2-3 batches.

- Enjoy as it is or with a slice of bread or handful of croutons.

The carrot cream is very nice, I bet coriander gives a very nice flavor. I also cook carrot soup, but with leek, chickpeas and orange juice.
