Carrot and coriander soup

I bought a bargain bag of carrots at the weekend for 90p and decided to use them up in a batch of carrot and coriander soup.  This works out at 65p a litre so about 30p for a generous serving.  Whack out a good chunk of decent bread and it's still a bargain at less than 50p per person!

This recipe is for about four litres of soup so make sure you have the freezer space!

Three and a half litres of water heating up while you do the prep.  I added a couple of vegetable stock cubes at this point.  To this I added three chopped onions softened in a bit of oil, one and a half kilos of chopped carrots and three teaspoonfuls of ground coriander.  To this I added a couple of handfuls of basmati rice but two or three potatoes would work well.  Bring to the boil and then simmer for 20/30 miniutes until everything is soft.  A couple of handfuls of fresh coriander finish things off.  Blitz when cool and serve with a bit of creme fraiche/creme and a sprinkling of chopped coriander.

Freeze prior to the fresh coriander bit but serve a such when thawed and reheated
