Hello lovelies, did we all have a good weekend? H was away so I enjoyed a very peaceful weekend and got lots of chores done and went for a couple of runs. It was lovely but it was very nice when he returned home to me, albeit a little worse for wear.
Whilst cleaning out the fridge I found many carrots, and some coriander lurking at the back of the fridge. So a lovely, flavoursome and healthy soup was made. It's very filling as well which makes it a really great option when like me you are trying to be good!
Carrot and Coriander Soup
700g carrots, diced
1 tbsp butter
1 dsp coriander seeds
1 small clove garlic, finely chopped
1 1/2 pints chicken stock (use vegetable if you prefer)
3 tbsp coriander leaves, finely chopped
2 tbsp creme fraiche
dry toast the coriander seeds in a pan for a couple of minutes and then roughly grind them in pestle & mortar or spice grinder. melt the butter in a pan and add the coriander seeds, garlic and carrots. cover and leave to soften for 15 mins. uncover, add stock and season and bring to boil. turn heat down and simmer for 20 mins. liquidise, put back in pan and stir in the coriander leaves and creme fraiche. once all warmed through serve with a swirl of creme fraiche
Mmmmmm! Looks delish. You can't beat homemade soup and this looks yummy :-)
