Classic Carrot and Coriander Soup

It's become a bit of a soup week!

Today I made carrot and coriander soup, and here's how you can too:

You need:
1 onion
1 500g bag of carrots
2 medium potatoes
oil
1 hand full of fresh coriander
2 litres of good quality stock (again, I'm loving knorr/continental stock pot)
pepper

First you need to wash your carrots and potatoes and chop the carrots into slices and the potatoes into 1cm cubes.

Now peel and chop your onion into smallish pieces. Put your onion, carrot and potato into a large saucepan with a splash of olive oil over a low - medium heat.

Chop your coriander into fairly small pieces and add to the pan. Put the kettle on to boil.

Cook slowly until the onions are soft, stirring occasionally then add your stock.

Simmer for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are very soft, season with pepper to taste and blend until smooth.

Serve with a sprig of coriander on top with crusty bread and butter. Perfect for a chilly evening!

Serves 4-6.
