CARROT AND CORIANDER SOUP
Carrot and coriander soup has always been one of my favourites- it’s a fuss-free and easy soup to make, it’s suitable for the whole family (my fussy children will eat it!), and it’s also a great cheap soup to make in bulk. Carrots are one of the cheapest vegetables to buy from the supermarket and with just a few little additions make a delicious, rich and creamy soup that is also healthy and low in fat.
I don’t worry about peeling the carrots for this, as it’s going to be blended anyway, just give them a wash and top and tail them.
This is a very easy one to make Slimming World friendly as there really isn’t a need for oil or butter- it’s perfectly delicious without! I add the potato for a little creaminess in the finished product.
