Carrot soup sans coriander??

[Lulumama]

will it be a big orange bowl of blandness

seem to have rather a lot of carrots, DH hates coriander with a passion, short of us all turning into wabbits, need to do something

have one courgette and a weird looking thing that might be a kohlrabi? it is like a swede that fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down...

Do you have an orange you could squeeze into it? Carrot and orange is lovely

Or gee it up with a bit of ginger ?

lol at your kohlrabi falling out of the ugly tree

X-post

definitely have orange, not ginger

i will try the kohlrabi, do you think it would be nice in the soup?

it is staring at me, out of the veg box looking forlorn and unwanted

thank you both!

any other herb might work
say parsley

just carrot is quite nice I think.

carrot and corriander my speciality putting potato in helps and just use small amount of dried corriander plenty of pepper and salt

does need just small amount of corriander as it adds to flavour but only small amount if someone doesnt like it but once cooked out you can not really taste it you can then add some orange rind to bowl when serving

Lulu let us know how you get on

thank you !

will be attempting it once the DCs are in bed

if i don;t get sucked into staying on here all night !!

thank you for all the helpful suggestions

googled pics of kohlrabi to see if taht is what i have

they are all much prettier than mine

hahaha - i knew this would be another of your soup threads

carrot and orange is super lovely

will you adopt my kohlrabi? i feel very sorry for it?

am going to email you tha link now

Sweat onions in butter and season well with salt and black pepper and oregano or mixed herbs. Add some chilli flakes or chilli powder (not a lot - just to give a bite rather than heat) and then add the carrots, sliced/diced. Cook gently for around 5 minutes then add chicken stock (a cube will do) and a tin of tomatoes.

Cook for about 20 minutes and then puree till creamy.

If you've got cream, a swirl of this would be good, or a dollop of natural yoghurt.

Like all soups it will take more salt than you think it should!

Carrot and ginger - lovely

Carrot on its own is suprisingly nice (sweet) the dds love it!

Kohl rabi also great raw as coleslaw ingredient!

You could make carrot cake instead with your glut of carrots!

We often have plain old carrot soup - it's fine!

no cake, am on a diet healthy eating plan !

thank yuo all, for lovely suggestions and recipes and not making me feel to useless !

Lulumama - how could any of us make you feel useless?!

well , i seem unable to make carrot soup and i have given a root vegetable self esteem ishooooos

i do like a bit of fawning though!
