Carrot and Coriander Soup

Although it's not officially autumn yet (but this English weather seems to think it is) I just couldn't resist not making one of my favourite soups. Fresh, light and super healthy I present to you the Carrot and Coriander soup!

What you will need: 

• 1 tbsp vegetable oil (I used coconut oil because it's healthier)
• 1 onion
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 potato
• 450g carrots
• 1l vegetable or chicken stock
• handful of fresh coriander 

Peel and chop the potatoes and the carrots. Then chop up the onion quite small. I would recommend putting a plastic bag net to you so you can quickly throw the waste into there. This was a huge time saver!

Start melting the oil in a large pan; once the oil is hot place the onions in there. I put a small amount of onions in first to see if it sizzles (if it does the pan is hot enough) Fry the onions for 5 minutes until soft.

Once the onions are soft, add the potato and ground coriander. (I forgot to photograph this)

 

After a minute, pour in the stock and carrots, then cover with a lid for 20 minutes and reduce the heat to the lowest.

After 20 minutes the carrots should be tender. Pour everything into a blender with the fresh coriander. Blitz to your preferred consistency.

Ladle some soup into a bowl with a slice of bread, I toasted mine to give the dish some crunch. Sprinkle some salt and pepper, add a leaf of fresh coriander and ENJOY!

This was my first food post, so I hoped you liked it! 

If any of you make it be sure to tweet me pictures of it @lifewithjess!

Se you soon!
