Is there anyone out there who loves soups as much as I do (only second to pasta <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ) ? For me they're mostly fall/winter or comfort food but some, like the following, are very nice in summer, too!
Carrot and Coriander Soup
Ingredients:
* 1 Onion - chopped well.
* 1 Clove garlic - as above
* 8/9 medium carrots - sliced in half lengthways ( chop up later when cooked)
* Knorr Vegetable stock - 1 1/2 cubes
* 1 1/2 pints water
* Pinch cinnamon or nutmeg
* 1 Knob of low fat butter/marg
* Handful of chopped fresh coriander
* Salt and pepper 2 tablespoons cream/a splash of milk (if you want)
Preparation Instructions:
1. Boil carrots until cooked and cut up roughly.
2. Chop coriander, onion and garlic.
3. Melt butter in pot on low heat, add garlic, then onion and sautee until onions are translucent.
4. Add 1 1/2 veg stock cubes and 1 1/2 pints hot water (use the water that the carrots were cooked in, adding extra hot water if there's not enough) - stir until cubes have dissolved.
5. Throw in cooked carrots and add a good pinch cinnamon or nutmeg and chopped coriander.
6. Pour mixture into blender, in stages if need be.
7. Return blended soup to pot, add salt and freshly ground black pepper and a couple of tablespoons of cream if you like.
AND, the good thing, It can be frozen!
Happy Eating!
