One of my favourite things to do in the winter is to light the fire, grab a good book and a blanket and just relax. The only thing to make these winter reading sessions better is to have a bowl or mug of hot, tasty soup. That’s why I couldn’t let January go by without sharing a soup recipe with you all and the one I chose was this Carrot and Coriander soup!
There are so many amazing soup flavours out there, during pumpkin week I shared my Roast Pumpkin Soup which has become one of my favourites.
This carrot and coriander soup is full of flavour! You can taste the carrot, you can taste the garlic and the coriander. I know it is so easy to open a can of soup, but when you make it fresh and it has so much flavour you wonder why you ever bother to have canned!
The best thing is you can have soup that is healthy and good for you and still get that comfort food feeling!
My carrot and coriander soup is so easy to make. Plus you could make it even easier by using ready peeled and chopped carrots. 😉
Hopefully my photos will have done this soup justice and you’re now desperate to get this soup made and eaten. While you’re making it you could easily double the recipe and freeze it in individual portions so you can have homemade soup everyday! I’m off to have a bowl for my lunch now. 🙂

This soup looks absolutely delicious! Strange as it may sound, I fell in love with making carrot purees for my daughter’s baby food. I was always adding different seasonings to “spice” it up. I love your idea of adding coriander to this soup because I think it will add a real depth of flavor. I can’t wait to check it out!
