    Carrots and coriander are a classic flavour combination, like tomatoes and basil. Our Carrot and Coriander Soup recipe is fuss-free and tastes far better than anything from a packet or can.

    There's nothing more comforting than homemade soup, and this is one of our favourites, along with our Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup, Roasted Red Pepper and Sweet Potato Soup, Slow Cooker Pumpkin Soup and Cheesy Cauliflower Soup.

    • Only 7 ingredients.

    Ingredients

    A collection of ingredients to make Carrot and Coriander Soup.

    Note: The full quantities are shown in the recipe card below.

    Olive oil - use extra virgin olive oil. You could also use sunflower or canola oil.
    Red onion - we like to use red onion in this recipe as it offsets the sweetness of the carrots. You could use brown onion instead.
    Garlic clove - peeled and sliced.
    Ground coriander - found in the spice aisle at the supermarket.
    Carrots - use any variety of carrots. We use the 'odd bunch' carrots from the supermarket, which are way cheaper. The odd bunch at Woolies are fruit and vegetables typically rejected because of their imperfections but taste the same.
    Chicken stock - or you could use vegetable stock. We use chicken stock cubes for ease. Vegetable stock can contain unwanted herbs and spices unless you make your own.
    Coriander leaves - use fresh coriander leaves and stalks.

    Step by Step Instructions
