This British favourite is one of my go to soups - I love it.

It's both filling and tasty and when swirled with a spoonful of yogurt it is creamy too.

I'll often double up the quantities that I make and freeze individual portions in freezable soup bags, that way I have easy lunches whenever I want.

I just grab a bag from the freezer and reheat in the microwave or on the stove top.

You'll see that I make the soup the old fashioned way, on a stove top but this soup can also be made in a soup maker if you prefer.

I use dried coriander seeds in this recipe. Crushed they have a mild citrus flavour which pairs perfectly with the carrots.

I roast the seeds in a frying pan and then grind them in a pestle and mortar. This really brings out the flavour.

If you don't have a pestle and mortar, just place the seeds in sealable bag and give them a good bashing with a rolling pin.

Each one cup serving of this tasty soup works out at 97 calories so it's perfect if you are following a lower calorie eating plan.
