Ingredients

500 g carrot
2 small onions
150-200 g potato - 1 or 2 potatoes
1 tbsp oil
1 stock cube or pot
1 tsp ground coriander
½ tsp turmeric
½ tsp garlic powder/granules
½ tsp paprika - optional
1 handful fresh coriander
salt and black pepper - to taste

Instructions

Prepare the vegetables. As this is a blended soup, you don’t need to be fussy. Top, tail, peel and cut them into chunks. If the skins on the potatoes are clean and unblemished, leave them on.
500 g carrot, 2 small onions, 150-200 g potato
Throw the onion into the soup maker and briefly pulse. Scrape down the sides so that the onion is at the bottom.
Add the oil to the soup maker and select the sauté function. Allow to cook for the programme length.
1 tbsp oil
Add the potatoes, carrot, spices and stock cube or pot. Add enough water to almost but not quite cover the vegetables. Put the lid on and select the smooth soup programme.
1 tsp ground coriander, ½ tsp turmeric, ½ tsp garlic powder/granules, ½ tsp paprika, 1 stock cube or pot
When the cycle has finished, cut or tear up the fresh coriander (including the stalks) and add to the soup maker. I find you need to break it up a bit first, as otherwise the stalks can wrap themselves around the blades.
1 handful fresh coriander
Briefly pulse to chop up the coriander and mix it in. Season to taste and add a little more liquid if you want to adjust the consistency before serving.
salt and black pepper

Notes

Storage

Fridge – Allow your soup maker carrot and coriander soup to cool, pack into containers, seal and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Freezer – Once cold, pack into containers, seal and freeze. Store for up to 6 months.

Reheating – Defrost in the fridge overnight, or on the kitchen counter for a few hours. You can reheat your soup in a pan on the stove top, or in a safe container in the microwave. When using the microwave, I like to use a Pyrex jug for ease of handling.

Hints and tips

If you don’t have a sauté function, you can sauté the onions briefly in a pan before putting them in the soup maker.
If you decide to skip the sauté stage, you do still need to include the oil in the recipe. It helps both the flavour and your ability to absorb vitamin A.
It is far easier to clean the soup maker while it is still warm. Give it a good rinse under the hot tap, fill with warm water and add a few drops of washing up liquid. Set to blend for a few seconds. Then rinse again and leave to dry.
