Carrot and Coriander Soup in a bowl
This is a fool proof and very simple recipe for carrot and coriander soup. The sweetness of the carrots is superb with the slightly orange tang of coriander. Chunky french bread, or similar, is essential to accompany this soup.
1 large onion
1 large bunch of fresh coriander
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1.2 litres / 2 pints vegetable stock (see "Advice for Carrot and Coriander Soup" below)
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Real vegetable stock is best but if you do not have any then a couple of vegetable stock cubes in warm water will do the job.
Heat up the olive oil in a frying pan to a medium heat. Add the carrots and onion and fry for five minutes until the onions begin to soften.
Stir the ingredients whilst cooking so that the oil coats all the vegetables and they are evenly cooked. Stir in the ground (not fresh) coriander and cook for one more minute.
Frying ingredients for carrot and coriander soup
Transfer the contents of the frying pan into a large pan. Add the salt and pepper. Pour in the stock and bring the the mixture to a boil.
Turn the heat down and simmer the soup for about 20 minutes until the carrots have softened. Stir the soup a couple of times while it is cooking.
Carrot and coriander soup cooking
Liquidise the soup in a blender. It's best if you leave some texture to the carrots rather then blending the soup to a puree.
Taste the soup and add any more salt and pepper to taste. Add the chopped fresh coriander leaves and stir them in. Serve the soup with fresh bread, French bread or rye bread which all go well with this soup.

| Dead easy to make. I added a bit of celery and an orange which gave it a nice tangy taste. Looks colourful when serving with the fresh green coriander against the orange of the soup. | ||
