carrot, orange and coriander soup


Just made this wonderfully easy soup today. Apparently they use it a lot on diets ?! who knew! I am sure you could adapt it by adding what every you have, but really it tasted so good like this. Enjoy

Carrot, Orange and Coriander Soup

2 oz butter ( i only used 1oz in the end)
2 medium onions
1 lb carrots
1 1/2 pints of stock - i used veggie
1/2 pint of orange juice. a friend uses lemon juice in hers
