I first made this soup this summer when Jonny & I were camping. We only had the ingredients, a pan and a sharp knife, so the traditional blended version of carrot & coriander soup wasn’t an option. 
However there’s something so clean and simple about this rustic version, and we both loved it. Do give it go next time you’re about to plunge your stick blender into your pan.
I used a beef Oxo cube as I was after a deep rich soup base, so I didn’t add any extra salt. If you’re making it with some home made stock (chicken is perfect and super nourishing) taste and season the soup accordingly.
Rustic Carrot and Coriander Soup
Prep Time
5 mins
Cook Time
15 mins
Total Time
20 mins
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 300 g carrots young ones are sweeter and less woody, chopped
- 1 beef oxo cube
- 1.5 pints water or stock
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- Half a teaspoon of black pepper
- 3 spring onions chopped
- 25 g of fresh coriander small bunch, chopped
Instructions
-
Add the carrots, stock/water & stock cube to a pan. Bring to the boil, then simmer the carrots for around 10 minutes.
-
Add the ground coriander and pepper, then taste and season with salt if necessary.
-
When the carrots are cooked just how you like them (I prefer a slight bit of bite left in them), take off the heat, stir through the fresh coriander and spring onions then serve with some yummy bread on the side.

15 October 2013 at 2:08 amIsn’t it funny how not having the right tools or ingredients often leads to the most delicious meals? :-) I love the looks and sounds of this soup. It will have to be a Me Soup though cuz my hubs is of the opinion that coriander is of the devil. ;-)

15 October 2013 at 12:29 pmWHAT??! Is he a little bonkers Krista? Of course, the upside is that you won’t have to share this yummy soup :)
