Made in 1 pan it can be eaten straight away or frozen for when required.

 

What do I do?


  1. Heat the oil in a large pan and add the onions and the carrots. Cook for 3-4 minutes until starting to soften

  2. Stir in the ground coriander and season well. Cook for 1 minute.

  3. Add the vegetable stock and bring to the boil. Simmer until the vegeables are tender.

  4. Whizz with a hand blender or in a blender until smooth.

  5. Re-heat in a clean pan stirring in the fresh coriander and serve

 

My top tips

  • i recommend if you intend to freeze the soup, adding the fresh coriander after re-heating. Always make sure the soup is piping hot especially when re-heating.
  • The quantities above are ideal for a larger batch for the larger family or for freezing. If you want to make less to give it a trial run, the quantities can easily be halved.
  • ENJOY!!!
