Jamie Oliver Carrot and Coriander Soup is a blended vegetable soup made by gently cooking carrots with onion and garlic in stock, then pureeing until smooth and finishing with fresh coriander. It focuses on freshness, balance, and everyday comfort rather than richness.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 1 kg carrots, peeled and sliced

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    • 1 large onion, finely chopped

    • 2 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 litre vegetable stock or chicken stock

    • Small bunch of fresh coriander, chopped

    • Salt, to taste

    • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the vegetables

Peel and slice the carrots evenly so they cook at the same rate. Finely chop the onion and garlic to help them soften quickly.

Step 2: Cook the onion

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook gently for 5–6 minutes until soft and translucent. This builds a sweet base for the soup.

Step 3: Add garlic

Stir in the garlic and cook briefly until fragrant. Keep the heat moderate so the garlic does not burn or turn bitter.

Step 4: Add carrots and stock

Add the sliced carrots to the pot and stir well. Pour in the stock, bring to a gentle simmer, and cover.

Step 5: Simmer until tender

Cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the carrots are very soft when pierced with a fork. Proper softness is key for a smooth blend.

Step 6: Blend the soup

Remove the pot from the heat and blend the soup until completely smooth using a hand blender or countertop blender.

Step 7: Add coriander and season

Stir in the chopped coriander, then season with salt and black pepper to taste. Warm gently if needed before serving.
