Easy Carrot Soup Recipe | Easy Soup Recipes | Healthy Lunch Recipes

It’s no secret that I’m not a huge fan of vegetables, or eating healthily for that matter! We all need to make an effort every now and then though right? This marvellous carrot soup recipe is actually a very old favourite of mine.

They say a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down yes? In this case, 1 tbsp of honey and some chilli flakes help the vegetables go down! Not only does it genuinely taste amazing but it’s insanely simple to make too. It’s never been easier to eat your 5 a day and actually enjoy it!

If you’re more of a ‘dump and go’ kind of person, you’ll enjoy this slow cooker carrot and coriander soup !

Finally, all that’s left to do is remove the 2 bay leaves and blitz! You can either do it right there in the pot with a stick blender or in batches in a food processor. Don’t forget to give it a little taste and check for seasoning. Add a little more salt if you think it needs it.

Serving suggestions and storage

You can either serve this straight away with a dollop of sour cream, some chilli flakes and a little chopped parsley (optional) or you can cool to room temperature then store in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Alternatively, you can even freeze it for those days when you don’t have time to prepare a healthy midweek meal! The choice is entirely yours.
