12th May – Carrot and coriander soup

Ingredients (serves 3-4):

  • 3 carrots – sliced
  • 1 stick of celery – sliced
  • 1 potato – chopped
  • 1 onion – chopped
  • 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon of dried coriander
  • A handful of fresh coriander – chopped
  • 1 vegetable stock cube
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Heat the oil up in a pan and fry the onions for a minute or so.  Tip in the potatoes and dried coriander and stir for a further minute.  Next, add the carrots, celery and the stock cube (mixed in about 500ml of boiling water) to the pan.  Bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer for up to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove the pan from the heat and use a hand blender or food processor to thoroughly blend the soup along with the fresh coriander until perfectly smooth.  Return to the pan if you used a food processor and heat through again.  Season to taste and add a splash of cream if you prefer.  Enjoy!
