Carrot and coriander soup is one of those classic pairings that’s utterly delicious. Light, aromatic and healthy, but oh so satisfying. This soup is perfect for warming you up on a chilly day.

What’s more, it couldn’t be easier to make. Simply cook the vegetables until tender and then whizz up in a blender. You’ll be enjoying a super nutritious meal in under an hour.

We recommend serving this carrot and coriander soup recipe with a generous serving of fresh crusty bread. For a gut-friendly choice, opt for sourdough. Sourdough is naturally fermented, meaning the tough outer shell of the grain is broken down before we eat it. This makes it easier to absorb and is gentler on our gut. Plus, making your own sourdough ensures you know exactly what’s in the recipe.
