Strictly speaking, Slater’s recipe is billed as a spiced carrot soup, and he adds cumin and chilli as well, while New Covent Garden suggests a sprinkling of nutmeg, which is a nice idea in a creamier soup, though I’m going to keep my version strictly coriander-focused. Fancy having a go yourself? Like the leek and potato soup I showed you a couple of weeks ago, there’s not a lot to it.

That soup did, however, definitely involve chopped fresh coriander, so I’m surprised to find both Tovey and Nigel Slater’s recipes use the seeds, while Riverford’s Guy Singh-Watson purees a small bunch, and gardener and herb specialist Jekka McVicar puts the roots alone into her soup. Unexpectedly, I prefer the seeds; the slightly bitter, citrussy note they lend it is more complex, and thus more interesting, though, unless you have a very powerful blender, it’s easier to grind those seeds to a powder first, rather than attempting to chase them all down in the pan, as Tovey recommends.

As a pre owned book I wasn't expecting 'mint' condition, however, it is spiral bound and several sheets are becoming detached, so it was obviously well used. Slightly below the standard that was described but not too bad overall Used-like N : The book pretty much look like a new book. There will be no stains or markings on the book, the cover is clean and crisp, the book will look unread, the only marks there may be are slight bumping marks to the edges of the book where it may have been on a shelf previously. Add the garlic and spices and cook for a further 1 minute then add the tomato puree and cook for a few more minutes.

Bought this as a replacement for a lost copy as it’s a ‘can’t get through winter without it’ book. Never had a bad recipe from it in the many years I’ve been using it. I buy copies for all my friends and relatives and they love it as much as I do.

Rinse the courgettes, remove the top and bottom, then chop roughly into rings. (If you’re not going to blend your soup then you might want to take a little more care over this bit, but as I blitz it all then I don’t worry too much about the size.) Add to the pan. I’m using my usual Portmeirion casserole but you can use any large pan. Oh wow!! it looks soooo yummy!! I am sure it was delicious, thanks for sharing, I will definitely give it a try 🙂 Small daughter absolutely loves this soup, it’s a close second to leek and potato for her. I have to say that I was a bit surprised that she took to it the way that she did when I first made it – I expected a bit more resistance to a soup other than leek and potato – but it’s a pleasant green colour, slightly creamy from the Brie and is actually just a very nice soup so there’s nothing for her not to like! Great value and love the recipes. I needed some inspiration and change from the usual, this book provided both. Condition: fine.
