A warm bowl of soup is something that I crave all year round. It's extra comforting when the weather is getting colder, but just as delicious on a summer night. Not only is it healthy and satisfying, it's also a great way to cook in bulk. This Vegan Carrot and Coriander Soup is a quick and easy meal, that can be packed up and reheated in a matter of moments during the working week.

Making Vegan Carrot and Coriander Soup

This dish uses coriander (cilantro) roots, which have a deeper and more intense flavor compared to the leaves, so when choosing a bunch of coriander you will need to ensure that it comes with the roots. There is sometimes confusion about the terms cilantro and coriander. Technically speaking, cilantro is the entire plant. Coriander is the name for the seeds that it produces, which are often ground and used as a spice. If you can't find cilantro with the roots still attached, at least choose a bunch with nice, long stems.

This vegan carrot and coriander soup is very simple to make. The ingredients cook up quickly on the stovetop, and then you simply blend everything together. I personally like to blend all of my soups with an immersion blender. It allows me to just blend the soup right there on the stovetop, with having to transfer hot liquid to a traditional blender, and without dirtying another major appliance. It's easy to just rinse off in the sink after.
