**Carrot And Coriander Soup**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 tbsp olive oil
– 1 onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 lb carrots, peeled and chopped
– 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
– 1 tsp ground coriander
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh coriander leaves, for garnish
– Cream or yogurt, for serving (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in the chopped carrots and ground coriander. Cook the mixture for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
4. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, making sure it covers the vegetables. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer, covered, for about 20-25 minutes or until the carrots are tender.
5. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender to puree.
6. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the consistency by adding more broth if needed.
7. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh coriander leaves. For a luxurious touch, swirl in a dollop of cream or yogurt before serving.
