• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the carrots into small chunks. Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the ground coriander and curry powder, cooking for 1 minute to release the spices' aroma.

Step 5

Add the chopped carrots to the pot and mix well with the spices and onions.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are very tender.

Step 8

Remove the pot from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 9

Using an immersion blender (or a regular blender in batches), blend the soup until smooth and creamy.

Step 10

Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste, and stir in the fresh coriander leaves.

Step 11

Reheat the soup gently if needed, and serve it hot. Optionally, drizzle a swirl of single cream on top before serving for a richer flavor.
