Quick & Easy Carrot and Coriander Soup

This warming, healthy, low fat recipe for Quick & Easy Carrot and Coriander Soup is perfect for cold winter days.

This time of year, there is nothing better than coming home to a bowlful of hot, comforting soup and this simple recipe can dish it up in no time flat!

This soup is such a delicious way to use up carrots and it’s so delicious, it will leave you craving more!

I just love soup!  I probably have more soup recipes than anything else.  It’s always been one of my favorite things.  Here in the UK, they don’t really serve too much soup in restaurants.

It makes me so homesick for American restaurants that have it on every menu!  And when I do come across a place that serves soup, I order it hoping it’s everything I’m craving, but it almost never is.

I don’t know why, but I just can’t get a decent bowl of soup, so is it any wonder I make so much at home?

Everyone I make this Carrot and Coriander Soup recipe for just loves it!  It’s super healthy and low fat too!

It’s just perfect for an easy supper on those busy weeknights that call for nothing but simplicity.  In fact, the only tedious part is peeling and cutting up the carrots, onion and one potato!

You just saute the onion in a pot, add the carrots, potato and stock.  Cook it until soft and blitz it in a food processor – it’s that simple!

It’s thick, velvety smooth, and packed full of flavor!
