Another soup based on what’s left over from last week’s vegetable delivery. Something nice and warming was definitely required for lunch on this bright but very cold day. #WastenotWantnot #SeasonalCooking

  2. 1large onion, chopped
  3. 2 clovesgarlic, chopped

  5. 1 handfulfresh coriander, finely chopped. Include stalks but keep separate

  8. 1.5 lvegetable stock (I used “Marigold” powder but fresh stock recommended if possible)

Cooking Instructions

40-50 minutes including prep
  1. 1

    Bring the oil to a medium-high heat in a stock pan or large saucepan and fry the onion for 3 minutes, stirring only to avoid sticking.

  2. 2

    Stir in the garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Add in the potato, stir gently but thoroughly and after 1 minute stir in a few of the chopped coriander stalks, the carrots and thyme, then add the stock.

  4. 4

    Bring to the boil, stirring occasionally. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes or until the vegetables are cooked. Add in the rest of the coriander (but save a little for garnish if you want) and stir well. Season to taste.

  5. 5

    Transfer to a blender and whizz to your desired consistency. Return to the stock pot/saucepan and reheat. Check the seasoning.

  6. 6

    Serve piping hot onto warmed soup bowls, adding the coriander garnish if wished, with your choice of bread.
