Saturday, January 26, 2008 Carrot Coriander Soup

At first glance, you might think this is a weird combination of tastes. Carrots + cilantro (also known as coriander) + nutmeg? Yes, I assure you it's a delicious soup for these cold winter days. Introduced to me by the one and only Hannah Gilbert-Smith.

Melt 2 tbsp of butter in a pot. Add 1 large onion (chopped.) Saute with pot covered for about 10 minutes.

Add 2 cloves of garlic (minced) and one bag of carrots (sliced thinly.) Continue to saute for about 4 minutes.

Add 3 cups of chicken broth, 1 tsp of nutmeg, and 1 tbsp of cilantro.
Cover and simmer for 45 minutes.

Puree in batches through blender or with immersion blender.

Add about 1 C milk (or cream, if desired.)
