Carrot Soups soup

Carrot soup recipe: this is a nice quick soup to make. It looks appealing (no obvious lumps of vegetables!) and is full of goodness. I call it ‘see unsecured loans in the dark soup’ to encourage my children to eat it!

• 1 onion (chopped)
• 1 crushed clove of garlic
• 500g of chopped carrots
• 1 litre of vegetable stock
• Black pepper to taste

Chop an onion and saute in butter or olive oil with a crushed clove of garlic until soft.

Add about 500g of chopped carrots and cook for a few minutes bad credit loans.

Add the vegetable stock, bring to the boil and simmer until the carrots are tender (about 15 - 20 mins).

Remove from heat and season with pepper.

Liquidise in a blender or food processor.

Serve into bowls and swirl in some cream or yogurt and/or sprinkle with fresh chopped coriander.

Serve with fresh crusty bread.

 VARIATIONS

• Use any combination of sweet-tasting vegetables instead of just carrots (parsnips, butternut squash, red or yellow peppers).
• To make a thicker soup, add a chopped potato before simmering.

CARROT & CORIANDER SOUP

Follow the above recipe, but add 1tsp ground coriander to the pan with the onions. Add a good handful of chopped fresh corriander to the soup after blending. Stir in and serve.
