Carrot and Coriander Soup

January 3, 2020 By Steven Leave a Comment

This is one of my favorite soup recipes. Coriander, turmeric, and red pepper flakes give my Carrot and Coriander Soup recipe a little bit of an Indian flair to it. Not too spicy, but with a great depth of flavor that is perfect on a cold rainy day. Served with a piece of warm crusty bread, this quick and easy vegetarian soup is a longtime favorite. I always use the tender young celery stalks from the center. They have a very delicate flavor and the pale-yellow leaves make a beautiful garnish.

I started making this soup about 20 years ago, and I’ve experimented with a dozen different varieties, however, this Carrot and Coriander Soup recipe is my favorite. That being said, Indian curry with lots of cumin, ginger, and garam masala is my next favorite. Therefore, I’ll put both soup recipes below, you can choose which one you think is the best.

Carrot and Coriander Soup recipe ingredients

  • Carrots and Potatoes: Give this carrot soup great body, texture, and flavor.
  • Red Onions, Celery, and Garlic: The aromatics that highlight and enhance the amazing spice mixture in this gorgeous winter soup. I always use the small tender celery stalks from the center of the bunch and reserve the delicate celery leaves for garnish.
  • Turmeric, Coriander, and Red Pepper Flakes: An easy spice mixture that is mildly spicy and very fragrant. A great compliment to the aromatics, carrots, and fresh cilantro.
  • Vegetable Stock and Lemon Juice: The lemon adds a brightness to the carrot soup recipe that brings it to life.
  • For the Ginger Curry Version: The carrot and coriander soup can be modified to give it even more wonderful Indian flavors. The addition of ginger, curry powder, and garam masala may actually be my favorite. I encourage you to try it both ways!

This carrot and coriander soup recipe is thick and rich with gorgeous color!
