Preparation

Heat a heavy-based saucepan over a medium–high heat. Add a generous splash of oil, then add the onion, celery and leek. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring often. Add carrots and garlic and cook for a further 3–4 minutes.

Wash coriander well and chop the roots and stems, reserving the leaves for a garnish. Add coriander to saucepan and cook for 2–3 minutes.

Add orange juice, salt and pepper and enough stock to just cover the vegetables, and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until carrots are tender.

Remove from heat. Purée the soup using a food processor, then pass through a strainer back into a clean saucepan.

To serve, bring the soup back to the boil, check seasoning, and add cream if desired and coriander leaves to garnish.

Serves 4.
