Recipe Calendar: August

Hi everyone,

I'm so sorry our recipe calendar has slipped our mind!! But I'm only a few days out so i hope you'll forgive me.

So here goes, a lovely autumnal soup that's quick and easy to make, makes a great starter for a lunch or dinner that you're hosting, but is equally a home comfort when you come home from work not sure of what to make of the British weather at the moment.

Carrot & Coriander Soup:

Ingredients:

500g-1kg Carrots (Peeled & Chopped)

250ml-300ml Double Cream

3tsp Coriander

2tsp Mixed Herbs

100ml Milk

Pinch of Salt

Method:

1. Peel and chop the carrots and add to a pan of boiling water, cooking until soft.

2. In a mini chopper/blender/food processor, blitz the carrots until you have a smooth purée. Alternatively you can use a potato masher.

3. Add the puréed carrots to a pan adding the herbs, coriander, pinch of salt and double cream stirring together on a low heat until combined.

4. Add some milk if the consistency is too thick and simmer the soup until you have a smooth yet slightly thick consistency.

5. Serve immediately with some bread (I used Irish Soda Bread) and a sprinkle of fresh coriander on top.

Enjoy!

Lily xxxx
