ingredients you will need
Olive oil, onion and garlic kick off our soup-making process; salt, pepper, and cumin are our seasonings of choice but paprika works great too, if you are not a fan of cumin.
And as you can guess by the name, carrots take the centre stage. Both regular orange carrots and baby carrots work well here. Baby carrots are sweeter and more tender, while regular carrots are more robust in flavor.
If you can get your hands on organic carrots, then do so by all means as organic carrots often tend to have a more pronounced carrot flavor compared to non-organic ones.
As with most soups, we are going to be using some liquid to cook the soup in, I use vegetable stock, feel free to use chicken stock if you prefer.
I use fresh coriander as it gives the best flavor profile, but let me not stop you from using a teaspoon of coriander powder, as a substitute.

I made this carrot soup using my Ninja Foodi Soup Maker and Blender, but it can be made using any soup maker!
👩🍳how to make soup maker carrot and coriander soup
To make soup maker carrot and coriander soup, saute onion and garlic in olive oil using a pan or your soup maker's saute function, or add them directly to the jug.
Then, add all other ingredients except coriander to the jug, and use the smooth soup setting.
After cooking, adjust seasonings, add coriander and blend briefly.
You can add more vegetable stock at this point, if you prefer to have a thinner soup. Serve with your choice of garnish.

I always love carrot soup but never thought adding in some fresh coriander would really enhance the flavour. Tried adding the fresh coriander to the soup right at the end to get as much flavour as possible. I would like to do this again some other time!

I absolutely loved how comforting this soup was! I made it last night and the whole family enjoyed it. I added some coconut milk just to make it a little creamier and it was the best!
