Carrot Cumin And Coriander Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add carrots and onion; cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, coriander, and cumin; cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add bone broth and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until the carrots are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add parsley; cook for 1 minute more.
• Puree with an immersion blender or in a blender until smooth. Add yogurt; blend until thoroughly mixed. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls and garnish with cilantro.

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large pan, add 1 chopped onion, then fry for 5 mins until softened.
• Stir in 1 tsp ground coriander and 1 chopped potato, then cook for 1 min.
• Add the 450g peeled and chopped carrots and 1.2l vegetable or chicken stock, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat.
• Cover and cook for 20 mins until the carrots are tender.
• Tip into a food processor with a handful of coriander then blitz until smooth (you may need to do this in two batches). Return to pan, taste, add salt if necessary, then reheat to serve.

Steps:

• Cut the carrots into sticks and place on a baking tray, coat with the olive oil and honey. Place in the oven at 180 degrees for around 20-25 mins until just starting to go brown.
• In a large casserole dish fry the onion, ginger and garlic in a small amount of oil or butter for around 5 mins until the onion has caramelised. Add the cumin and chilli and fry for another minute.
• Put the carrots, onion mix and coriander into a blender along with around a glass of water. (If you have a hand held blender this step can be done in the casserole dish). Blend untill smooth.
• Add the stock cube into the casserole dish and enough boiling water to cover the bottom. Mix the stock cube in whilst scrapping the caramelisation off the bottom from the onion.
• Return the puréed carrots to the casserole dish and mix, add boiling water until the soup is your desired consistency. (for me around a litre).
• Add salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚. Line a baking sheet with foil. In a large bowl, toss the carrots with the honey, olive oil, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, 1 tablespoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Roast in the oven, stirring halfway through, until the carrots are tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 20 to 25 minutes. Drizzle the vinegar over the carrots and taste a tiny piece for seasoning. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a deep saucepan over a medium heat until just starting to sizzle, then fry the cumin seeds until toasted and crackling.
• Add the onion, leek, garlic, star anise, carrots and a pinch of salt. Stir to coat. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook gently for 15-20 mins, stirring occasionally until the vegetables have softened in their own steam.
• Pour over the stock and bring the mixture to a simmer, then continue to cook for 10 mins until the carrots are tender. Spoon 2 tbsp of the cream into a small dish and set aside, then pour the rest into the pan and bring back to the boil. Remove the star anise and use a hand blender to blitz the mixture until smooth and silky. Or, tip into a standard blender in batches and blitz before returning to the pan. For a really smooth soup, push through a sieve into a saucepan. At this stage, the soup can be cooled completely and chilled for up to three days or frozen for six months. Defrost fully before reheating. Reheat until piping hot over a low heat, then pour into bowls, drizzle with the reserved cream and scatter the extra cumin seeds on top. Serve with these cheese, cumin & onion seed cornbread muffins, if you like.

Steps:

• Heat a large saucepan and dry-fry 2 tsp cumin seeds and a pinch of chilli flakes for 1 min, or until they start to jump around the pan and release their aromas.
• Scoop out about half with a spoon and set aside. Add 2 tbsp olive oil, 600g coarsely grated carrots, 140g split red lentils, 1l hot vegetable stock and 125ml milk to the pan and bring to the boil.
• Simmer for 15 mins until the lentils have swollen and softened.
• Whizz the soup with a stick blender or in a food processor until smooth (or leave it chunky if you prefer).
• Season to taste and finish with a dollop of plain yogurt and a sprinkling of the reserved toasted spices. Serve with warmed naan breads.
