Nigella Carrot and Coriander Soup is a blended vegetable soup made from carrots simmered with onion, garlic, stock, and fresh coriander. The carrots provide natural sweetness, while coriander adds brightness and aroma. Once blended, the soup becomes silky and smooth, making it a classic British-style soup that focuses on simplicity and flavour rather than richness.
