For BubblesDeVere - Carrot & Almond soup

[ThomCat]

Carrot & Almond soup
serves 4

2 onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves (but I used 6!)
6 carrots, sliced
2 celery stalks, chopped
1 tbsp (wheat free?) vegetable bouillion powder
2-3 tbs chopped fresh coriander, stalks reserved
2-3 tbs chopped fresh parsley, stalks reserved
100g ground almonds

Place onions, garlic, carrots & celery in a large saucepan and add 1.25 litres boiling water with the bouillon powder. Bring to boil and add herb stalks.

Lower heat & simmer for 30 mins till veg is tender

Remove from heat & allow to cool slightly. Strain, reserving the stock. Remove herb stalks, then blend vegetables in a food processor or with hand-held blender till smooth.

Return mixture to pan and add ground almonds and enough of reserved stock to make soup-like consistency (I used it all)

Reheat and garnish with the chopped corinader & parsley (or leave to cool and freeze like I did)
