Interesting day today - I posted my first post on the Grow Your Own 'Grapevine' Forum: -

Any way - I don't know if you have carrots left, but as I like it, here's Carrot & Coriander Soup: -

A flavoursome vegetarian soup with fresh and ground coriander. Serve with cheese and onion bread for a warming supper or lunch.
Ingredients
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, sliced
450g/1lb carrots, sliced
1 tsp ground coriander
1.2 litresl/2 pints vegetable stock
large bunch fresh coriander, roughly chopped
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method
1. Heat the oil in a large pan and add the onions and the carrots. Cook for 3-4 minutes until starting to soften.
2. Stir in the ground coriander and season well. Cook for 1 minute.
3. Add the vegetable stock and bring to the boil. Simmer until the vegetables are tender.
4. Whizz with a hand blender or in a blender until smooth. Reheat in a clean pan, stir in the fresh coriander and serve.


Am looking at getting down the allotment (weather permitting) at the weekend, so you may see more of the 'Plot' than the 'Plate' next week!

Any recipe ideas for veg in season gratefully accepted!
