A warm and flavorful carrot and coriander soup by Jamie Oliver, combining fresh vegetables and fragrant spices for a comforting, smooth soup perfect for any season.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 6 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and chopped

Spices and Herbs

  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 bunch fresh coriander, roughly chopped

Liquids

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1.2 litres chicken or vegetable stock

Seasoning

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil: Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes until they become soft and fragrant.
  2. Add vegetables and spice: Add the chopped carrots and potatoes to the saucepan and stir in the ground coriander. Cook for about 1 minute to release the coriander’s aroma.
  3. Add stock and simmer: Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer gently for 20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  4. Cool slightly: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the soup to cool down a bit before blending to avoid splattering.
  5. Blend the soup: Transfer the soup in batches to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and creamy.
  6. Reheat and season: Return the blended soup to the saucepan and gently reheat. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste.
  7. Add fresh coriander and serve: Stir the roughly chopped fresh coriander into the soup just before serving for a burst of fresh herb flavor.

Notes

  • Use vegetable stock for a vegetarian version.
  • Adjust the consistency with more stock or water if the soup is too thick.
  • For a creamier texture, add a splash of cream or coconut milk before blending.
  • The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
  • Serve with crusty bread or a swirl of yogurt for extra richness.
