Carrot And Coriander Soup

ADVERTISEMENT

Carrot and coriander soup is a classic soup for a reason. This version picks up a little spice from the jalapeños and draws out the sweetness from the carrots by roasting them first. It has plenty of coriander for a perfectly spiced spoonful at every bite.

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 425°. Toss carrots with 2 tablespoons oil, coriander, salt, and pepper on a large baking sheet. Roast until carrots are fork-tender, 30 minutes.

  3. Add garlic, jalapeño, and cilantro stems. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute more.
