Equipment
Ingredients
- 15 g fresh coriander (approximately ¼ of a bunch)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon ginger grated or minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried red pepper chili flakes
- 700 g carrots (approximately 1.5 lb)
- 700 ml vegetable stock
- ½ teaspoon salt (use more, or less, to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Wash the fresh coriander, then separate the stems from the leaves. Finely chop the stems. Reserve the leaves for blending and garnishing.
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent (about 2 minutes).
- Stir in the garlic, ginger, cumin, chili flakes, and chopped coriander stems, cooking for a minute until fragrant.
- Add the carrots and stir to combine.
- Pour in the vegetable stock, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer until the carrots are tender, about 30 minutes.
- Once the carrots are soft, and the reserved coriander leaves, and blend the soup to your desired consistency (see notes below). Season with salt and black pepper.
- Garnish the soup with coriander leaves or as preferred and serve warm with bread, bread rolls, garlic bread, and so much more!
Notes
- Use an immersion blender to blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup to a blender and process in batches.
- For extra creaminess, consider adding a splash of coconut milk or heavy cream.
- Add more vegetable stock for a thinner soup.
- Feel free to use coriander powder, as a substitute for fresh coriander.
- Adjust the chili flakes to suit your preferred level of spiciness.
