Carrot and Coriander Soup is a favorite soup of many Brits and you’ll find it on the menus of many cafes and pubs back home in the UK.
It’s full of winter warming goodness and a little touch of spice with the added coriander powder.
If you can find organic carrots and onions I think they taste better and more flavorful, but any carrots will work for this recipe.
Quick Tips for Making Carrot and Coriander Soup
- One of the keys to a really flavorful soup is to gently saute the vegetables for at least five minutes, especially if you are using onions, doing this helps draw out the sweetness in the vegetables
- To save time you can use a bag of ready peeled carrots, it makes the prep and clean up much faster and quicker.
- Use a really great broth or stock, this can make or break the flavor of your carrot and coriander soup so don’t settle for a broth that doesn’t have a great flavor!
- Don’t forget to season afterwards with salt and pepper, how much you need will depend on how salty your broth is.
