Carrot and Coriander Soup is one of the nation’s favourite soups – and with good reason! I love carrot soup anyway but adding in some fresh coriander at the end really enhances the flavour.
Carrot and coriander soup is easy to make, you can use ground coriander or fresh coriander, or as I prefer, both.
It’s a good idea to add the fresh coriander to the soup right at the end to get as much flavour as possible. I don’t bother to chop up the coriander leaves, I just throw them all in, stalks and all.
I add them at the end of the soup cycle (I use the smooth setting) and then simply use the blend function on the soup maker which runs for 20 seconds.
How To Make Carrot and Coriander Soup Creamier
If you want to make the soup creamier you can stir in some cream, crème fraiche or natural yoghurt at the end.
How Many Calories Are In A Bowl Of Carrot And Coriander Soup?
If you’re counting calories you’ll be happy to hear that this soup (as with many other soups) comes in at just 111 calories per serving (this recipe serves 4). Add more calories if you are stirring in any cream or yoghurt at the end.
Side Note: I use the Morphy Richards Soup Makers, I actually have 2 of them, both of them have the sauté function, which I love. There are differences between the two models – I go into greater depth in comparing the two in this post. As a quick summary, the latest one has more features as well as the ability to make fewer portions (and therefore less potential waste) but you also have to keep the lid on to use the sauté function unlike the previous model where you can sauté with the lid off (which I prefer).
Did you make this recipe? I’d love to hear what you thought of it in the comments!

How much ground coriander if you don’t have fresh?
Hi, I made this recipe last week with my new soup maker 😀. I used just 1 teaspoon as in the recipe and none at the end and it was perfect and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Will definitely make again.
Great Amanda, I’m so glad you enjoyed it – have fun making lots of tasty soups in your new soup maker!
Why does the soup require blending manually please?
Hi Barbara – you can blend it manually to puree the fresh coriander leaves which aren’t added until the end. I’ve edited the recipe instructions to clarify this. Thanks for your comment 🙂
we loved this soup . even my 14 year old lad loved it . had the left overs the day after
I’m so happy to hear that 🙂
I really enjoy you recipes as I make most of your soups in our soup maker,since we purchased ours we only eat what we make your recipes are great keep up the good work
Hi Colin,
Thanks for your message and kind words. I’m so happy to hear you are enjoying your soup maker and the recipes you are making 🙂
What a fab soup, I added a desert spoon of half fat creme fraiche at serving and it’s just yummy!
Thanks for your comment Dee – I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed it 🙂
Loved it, I added oat cream and fresh coriander to keep the soup vegan – also have the blend option so didn’t have to do do it manually – lush!!!
Thanks for your comment Avril – I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the recipe 🙂
Delicious! Thank you I will be making this again 😊
Thanks for your comment Lynne, I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed it 🙂
I made this soup today, had it for lunch, it was delicious. Enough left for tomorrow too. Thank you.
Thanks for your comment Marie – I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Love this recipe – make soup every week and this one is so good it is made each alternate week between Oct-March. I add a twist of black pepper when serving along with a few sprigs of coriander, just the way I like it.
Thanks for your comment Christine – I love carrot and coriander soup too, and a twist of pepper sounds delicious! 🙂
Very disappointed in the carrot and c. soup. Far too thin. Looked at other recipes and they have a potato in. Had to throw it away although the taste was good. Your comments please.
Sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy this recipe Margaret. By all means add in a potato if you prefer a thicker consistency – you might find this article useful;

It gives some tips on how to thicken a soup, especially once the soup has been made. It seems such a shame and a waste to throw a meal away when it can be fixed to your personal taste. I hope that makes sense, please do let me know if not.
Thank you so much for your valuable information on how to thicken soup. I have made the tomato and basil soup and that was delicious, next soup is Celery because its a bit tough this time. Also the mushroom soup which again was delicious.
Morphy Richards soupmaker I have just bought is the best thing out since sliced bread. Amazing especially at this scary time with Corona Virus.
