Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 1 medium onion
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 10 grams fresh coriander
- 1 liter vegetable stock
- 100 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
Peel and chop the carrots into small pieces for quicker cooking. Dice the onion and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the ground coriander and cook for an additional 1 minute to release its aroma.
Add the chopped carrots to the pot and pour in the vegetable stock. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil.
Lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Remove the pot from the heat and let the soup cool slightly. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a countertop blender in batches and blend until creamy.
Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Warm the soup gently over low heat, avoiding boiling.
Roughly chop the fresh coriander leaves and stir most of it into the soup, reserving a small amount for garnish.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with the reserved fresh coriander, and optionally drizzle with a touch of cream for presentation. Serve hot and enjoy!
