Carrot & coriander soup

Autumn is upon us , and so is the soup season ... In the evening I am happy with just a soup (albeit a rather large portion !) with a garlic toast ....
This one is simple and  the combination of carrots and coriander is simply delicious




Ingredients

• Some carrots (4 to 6 depending on size)
• Onions  (a couple)
• A few potatoes  (a couple)
• A vegetable cube 
• Some fresh coriander 
• Salt 
• Pepper
• Olive oil 
• Light cream  (or full one if you prefer ) 
• Garlic
• bread (optional ) 

some tasty organic carrots 

Put the vegetable cube in water on a low fire , add the peeled potatoes cut in small chunks 

Peel and slice the carrots , and the onions 

In a frying pan, fry the ognons and carrots , a bit of garlic if you so wish, all in a fillet of olive oil.

Cut the coriander stalks in very small bits , and a only a few leaves , and add to the carrots and onions 

Add salt and pepper

Fry for about 5 min tossing from time to time , until well coloured and then add to the warm broth 

Leave to simmer for about 15 to 20 min 

Then liquidize only 2/3  of the soup 

Put in your plates , add some blobs of  light cream , salt and pepper to taste , and garnish with some fresh coriander leaves 

I like to eat it with toasted bread, on which i rub a fresh garlic clove , and spread a bit of butter
