Carrot & Coriander Soup has always been a winner in my eyes. It was one of the first soups I ever made and after careful tweaking it has become one I can make almost with my eyes closed. The pairing of sweet carrots with the more earthy slightly citrus notes of coriander is one that always works.

In this soup I use dried coriander and the fresh leaves as garnish. There is a difference in flavour between the two. The fresh leaves have a herbal citrus profile that borders on the floral grassy side. Whereas the dried coriander has more earthy, nutty & citrus notes, the dried spice is made from the seeds. Both of these I think are essential in this soup.

This is one of those dishes that provides all the warming comfort you need when the weather is chilly outside, whilst simultaneously being a lovely light lunch whilst eating al fresco. Soup is a year round meal, of course, the ingredients change following what is in season. I particularly love this soup with a roll fresh from the oven. Or if I want something more substantial then half a sausage sandwich is a glorious partner.

This soup is a quick and simple soup having just 5 ingredients (plus a little oil to soften the onions). When you make this soup the kitchen is filled with a wonderful aroma that positively calls people to the table. It is the work of some peeling, chopping, putting into a pot and eventually blending. I have found this creates a soup that is velvet smooth and I think has the perfect consistency.

I make this with chicken stock as I almost always have some in my freezer, you could just as easily use vegetable stock though to make it vegetarian. Here is my recipe for chicken stock. When you know you have made the stock from scratch you know exactly what is in this soup and that is a very pleasing thought.

I have stirred coriander leaf yoghurt into this before and that was a nice addition. More often than not I forgo this, as really the soup is creamy enough. Aslo if I’m topping with the leaves means I don’t have to chop as finely. If, however, you want to try it; take 8 tbsp greek yoghurt and stir through about 1 – 2 tsp finely copped coriander. Then dollop on to the served soups and let your guests swirl it.

This carrot & coriander soup freezes brilliantly and doesn’t affect the texture. If you find it is too thick after freezing add some hot water to it and that will loosen it up. However this is so simple to make, why not make it fresh?

Do you agree with me about this soups texture? Did you add more coriander? Let me know in the comments below.

Notes

LEFTOVERSTIP

If you have leftover soup, and don’t fancy freezing it for another time, why not make a casserole. Add white beans, chicken thighs, leftover soup and courgette to an oven safe dish. Top with some breadcrumbs blitzed with garlic and bake for 45 mins.

    This sounds perfect for a day when you don’t want to cook and can just put it all in a pot!

      It is perfect for that. I always make double and freeze some for those days when cooking seems too much.

This week I’ve had many conversations about breakfast and how we start our day. So to mark this here is a completely American, Disney breakfast & I love breakfast! In fact it might be my favourite meal of the day...well at least the morning 🤷‍♂️😂How I start my day directly affects the rest of it. A hectic start will result in a rather unsettled day.Now this breakfast from the Plaza Restaurant in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World was one of my favourite things to do after a rope drop morning. However the Plaza Restaurant only serves lunch and dinner now. I’d love to have this spot back for a@lazy breakfast.This is also a good time to mention that I have food reviews from my trips to Disney World as well as some recreation recipes all on my blog.To find them click link in bio then tap on Disney Food.#CUBBintheKitchen #Disney #Food #DisneyFood #PlazaGardens #MagicKingdom #WDW #WaltDisneyWorld #DisneySnacks #Mickey #MickeyWaffles #MickeyWaffle #Coffee #IcedCoffee #Disneygram #DisneyDining #DisneyFoodBlog #DisneyStyle #America #PlazaRestaurant #DisneysMagicKingdom #Biscuit #Biscuits #Bacon #HomeFries #BreakfastPotatoes #Waffle

Crispy Chilli BeefThis is a Chinese takeaway classic, strips of crispy shredded beef smothered in a sticky chilli sauce. Yes this is a bit more of a treat dish but most takeaway dishes are. This recipe is so quick it takes less time than you would spend ordering and waiting for delivery. My recipe for Crispy Chilli Beef requires two pans and hardly any patience.Recipe on the blog now under ‘Fakeaway Recipes’ #CUBBintheKitchen #BrownFood #Brown #Chilli #ChineseFood #Fakeaway #FakeawayFriday #FridayFood #ChilliBeef #CrispyChilliBeef #Takeaway #TakeawayFood #Fakeaways #britainsbesthomecooks_ #worldsgreatesthomecooks #Food #Recipe #RecipeOfTheDay #ChineseTakeout #Takeout #TakeoutFood #Delicious #Rice #FriedRice #FoodILove #TasteSoGood #EatColourful #EatThis #ForkYeah #FridayFakeaway

It’s a grey drizzly day, in others words an ideal baking day, and these are another perfect thing to bake. Super soft brownie-like bites of heaven. These Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are truly delightful. They also make excellent treats for Mother’s Day which is coming up here in the UK - not that I need an excuse to make these.Recipe on the blog now.#CUBBintheKitchen #Chocolate #Cookies #Baking #MothersDay #MothersDayGifts #ForkYeah #Food #Foodp*rn #foodstagram #foodie #foodiesofinstagram #foodblogger #foodpics #britainsbesthomecooks_ #worldsgreatesthomecooks #networkingfoodies #discoverunder5k #discoverunder2k #Sweet #Treat #Tasty #foodbloggerlife #ukfoodblogger

Black Bean Tacos These Black Bean Tacos are such a great meal. A mix of textures, temperatures and flavours creates perfect mouthfuls. This is meal to eat with people you are comfortable with, you certainly may get messy. That, in my opinion, is half the fun. It does not weigh you down or feel heavy and is vegetarian.Recipe on the blog now.What does your perfect taco look like?#CUBBintheKitchen #Tacos #Taco #Food #Veganuary2021 #Vegetarian #VegetarianRecipes #VegetarianRecipe #Vegan #VeganRecipes #Veganuary #Meatless #MeatFree #MeatlessMeals #MeatFreeMonday #MeatlessMonday #Flexitarian #PlantBased #TacoTuesday #Foodie #foodphotography #foodp*rn #foodstylist #foodstagram #forkyeah #foodiesofinstagram #foodblogger #foodpics #britainsbesthomecooks_ #worldsgreatesthomecooks

Halloumi Steaks with Tomato JamThis recipe has become a real favourite in my house. Completely vegetarian and full of flavour. The different textures are fantastic and give each mouthful variety. It is also fairly easy to make. So you see you should make Halloumi Steaks with Tomato Jam, what are you waiting for?This is a true low effort meal. The amount of Jam this makes is enough for 8 portions and so if this is already made I zap it in the microwave to warm up and cook the rest and can have food on the table in 15 minutes! This recipe does require multiple pans and so to some this may not feel simple but once you have courgettes grilling, giant cous cous simmering and halloumi in a dry frying pan it’s occasional turning that’s all.Recipe on the blog now under Vegetarian and Vegan Recipes#CUBBintheKitchen #Vegetarian #Halloumi #HalloumiSteak #Tomato #Tomatoes #TomatoJam #GiantCousCous #Veg #Veganuary #VegetarianRecipes #VegetarianMeals #Vegan #Veganuary2021 #foodphotography #foodstagram #foodiesofinstagram #foodblogger #foodforfoodies #foodbloggerlife #britainsbesthomecooks_ #meatfreemonday #meatlessmonday #discoverunder2k #ukfoodbloggers #worldsgreatesthomecooks #Foodshare
