Hello hungry peoples,

Today we are going to make a spiced carrot soup, which is both tasty and a bargain. Carrots are super cheap! The secret to making great hearty vegetable soups is to not hold back on the butter. I also really enjoy the flavour combination of carrot, coriander and ginger, which makes this dish really special. I haven’t been able to convince my family of this so this is a dish I make for myself (thus the small serving size). They are wrong, this is delicious.

Ingredients

• 4 large carrots
• 1 onion
• 3 cups chicken stock
• 2 tbsp dried coriander
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp minced ginger
• 100g butter
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup fresh coriander
• Pepper
• Salt
• Pinch chilli powder

Cooking Directions

1. Dice the vegetables (or you can just throw everything into a food processor).
2. Melt the 100g of butter and fry the vegetables with the ginger, garlic, 2 tbsp dried coriander and the pinch of chilli powder.
3. Add stock and cook on a medium heat for 30 minutes.
4. Blend the soup and season with salt and pepper.
5. Top with lots of sour cream and fresh coriander. That’s it, you’re done!
