I like carrot & coriander soup, but I wanted something with a bit more kick to warm me up. This kicks ass.
You will need:
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, chopped
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 2 small red chillis
- 1 potato, peeled and chopped
- 450g carrots, peeled and chopped
- small piece of fresh ginger, finely diced
- 1 litre vegetable stock
- knob of creamed coconut
- small amount of fresh coriander, chopped
Fry the onion in some oil for 5 minutes. Add the potato, one of the red chillis, chopped with seeds and all, fresh ginger and ground coriander. Fry for about 10 minutes. Add the carrots and vegetable stock. Simmer for 20 minutes. Add a knob of creamed coconut, let it melt then blitz in a blender. Season to taste.
Sprinkle some slices of red chilli and fresh coriander on top when you serve. Hot, spicy and delicious.
