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 30 mins to cook!
Carrots are the main ingredient here, giving the soup a 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!
📖 The Recipe
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

- Pour over chicken stock, bring to boil. Add diced potatoes and cook for 10 mins.
- 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.
