I wanted to know what James Martin's recipe for carrot and coriander soup tasted like so I just made it. Bloody delicious.
 
Post the JM's recipe, love carrot and coriander soup
 
Ingredients
Preparation method
  1. Heat the oil in a large pan and add the onions and the carrots. Cook for 3-4 minutes until starting to soften.

  2. Stir in the ground coriander and season well. Cook for 1 minute.

  3. Add the vegetable stock and bring to the boil. Simmer until the vegetables are tender.

  4. Whizz with a hand blender or in a blender until smooth. Reheat in a clean pan, stir in the fresh coriander and serve.
 
This has long been my most favourite soup! It's so quick and easy to make. However, since becoming a low carb woman I'm rather wary of eating it because of the carb value of all those carrots . I know.....eat some and test..... but the thought of throwing it away if it spikes me is tantamount to first degree torture!

Edit.....I always used butter to soften, it tastes better
 
I never thought of testing after the soup. That's probably because there was some wine as well. The village shop has an offer on.

This dieting is hell.
 
Sounds good.....I'll make some next week
 
Thanks SF

I had a hard time finding the actual page containing James Martin's recipe but I now have done so. Be careful since he says it feeds 10-15 people.

I had an Ainsley Harriot Carrot & Rocket soup for lunch today, it was really nice but not as good as home-made soup.

Thank you for the info Squire. It's not as high in carbs as I expected. Reckon I can adjust ingredients quantity down a bit!.... Unless I start a soup kitchen

I am wondering if it freezes. I do quite a lot of batch cooking but never did it to soup before. Worth a try I suppose.
 
Should do, I batch assemble soup and freeze the individual pots. Soupsicles anyone <G>
 
I have batch made soup and frozen it, it was really good, in fact it tasted better after being frozen !!
