About This Recipe
If you like a soup with a bit of a kick then this Carrot & Coriander soup is traditionally a little bit spicy , and can be made as a thick soup or a broth.
The spice comes from the black pepper in the recipe, but be careful it is easy to make this soup too hot. I would suggest that you put a bit less pepper than you think you might want. That is why I have included two settings Mild & Spicy.
This Carrot & Coriander soup is great served on a Winters day with some hot buttered bread.

Carrot and Coriander Soup has a rich history that reflects the culinary traditions of various cultures. This delightful dish is believed to have originated in Europe, where carrots were cultivated as early as the 8th century.
Initially, they were used primarily for their medicinal properties, but as cooking methods evolved, so did their culinary applications. The combination of carrots and coriander, a herb known for its distinct flavor and aroma, became popular in the 20th century, particularly in British cuisine.
The soup gained traction as a comforting, nutritious option, especially during the colder months. Its vibrant orange color and the fresh, zesty notes of coriander not only make it visually appealing but also provide a delightful balance of sweetness and earthiness.
Over the years, variations of the recipe have emerged, incorporating different spices and ingredients, but the classic version remains a beloved staple in many households, celebrated for its simplicity and wholesome goodness.
