Roasted Carrot and Coriander Soup
There are many reasons why I like cold weather, and although the fact that I can wear tights again (bye bye thigh chafing!) and that I can comfortably wear black all of the time are up there, my number one thing about winter is soup! Specifically homemade soup, because there are very few things that warm you up on a cold, raining day in the UK more than a hearty bowl of home cooked soup. This Roasted Carrot and Coriander Soup is the perfect autumn/winter recipe, which is packed full of flavour and takes just 3o minutes to make!

Meal Prepping!
One of the other things I love about soup during winter is that it makes meal prep SO much more simple! I don’t know about you but literally the last thing I want to be doing on a cold winter morning is making myself a packed lunch for work, and long cooking sessions drastically cut into my sofa snuggling time in the evenings! That’s why meal prep can be such a lifesaver, and this carrot and coriander soup is the ideal meal prep recipe. Simply prepare the soup on a Sunday night, before you start your week, and divide it into zip lock bags before freezing. You could even divide it into disposable soup containers for easy use during the week! Simply defrost, reheat and you’re good to go…
Why You Should ALWAYS Roast Your Carrots!
So, you may be sat there wondering what the point of roasting the carrots for this recipe might be. After all, they’re just going to be blitzed up afterwards to make the soup right? Before you reach for a saucepan to boil them instead, remember it’s all about flavour! Roasting the carrots, along with half of the coriander, helps to develop rich flavours in your soup! If you boil the carrots you lose so much of the flavour and by spending just a little bit of extra time waiting for them to roast you add a whole new taste level to your soup!
