Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4-5 medium-sized carrots (peeled and chopped)
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
  • 1 small red pepper (chopped)
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon fresh coriander (with extra to garnish)

  • ½ teaspoon chilli
  • sea salt and pepper to taste
  • Around 650ml stock (I used homemade chicken)
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup cream (or more milk, Greek yoghurt, or crème fraiche)

Instructions

  • Fry the onions in the olive oil for a couple of minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, pepper and fry until softened.
  • Add the carrots, fresh coriander, turmeric, chilli, salt and pepper and cook for a further two minutes.
  • Add the stock and cook for about 30 minutes. Pour soup into a blender and process until smooth.
