How to make carrot and coriander soup

  • Trim and peel the carrots and cut into chunks.
  • Heat the oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large flameproof casserole or heavy-based saucepan.
  • Fry the onion over a gentle heat for 3 to 4 minutes, until slightly softened.
  • Reduce the heat even further and sweat for about 10 minutes.
  • Shake the pan or stir occasionally so the vegetables do not stick to the base.
  • Add the stock and bring to the boil.
  • Half cover the pan and simmer for a further 8 to 10 minutes until the carrots and potatoes are tender.
  • Slice the celery and chop the potatoes.
  • Add them to the onion in the pan, cook for a few minutes and then add the carrots.
  • Fry over a gentle heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, and then cover.
  • Remove 6 to 8 tiny celery leaves for garnish and finely chop the remaining celery tops, about 1 tablespoon once chopped.
  • Melt the remaining butter in a small saucepan and fry the ground coriander for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • Reduce the heat and add the chopped celery tops and fresh coriander and fry for about 1 minute. Set aside.
  • Process the soup in a food processor or blender and pour into a clean saucepan.
  • Stir in the milk and coriander mixture.
  • Season, heat gently, taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Serve garnished with the reserved celery leaves.
