Few days back got a nice bunch of coriander and other leafy veggies. Pre monsoon loot you see, because once the downpour starts getting any decent fresh produce is out of question. Considering the current Mumbai pandemic situation going hay wire our aim is to make best use of whatever we have till the last drop.

We have been on the ‘living sustainable’ route for quite sometime ( trust me we are no where near but now we are mindful of our lifestyle choices) . So when this time fresh produce came in which was actually fresh, I prepared a vegetable stock out of the scraps.

Preparing vegetable stock from the kitchen scraps is something I wanted to include in our daily cooking ritual for quite some time but it just never happened. Mainly laziness. To think of it now when I actually made it, it did not take much time and it was perfect base to a lemon coriander soup.

I prefer making soups which do not have corn flour in it so while hunting recipes came across this extremely simple Lemon Coriander Carrot version by the oh so famous Chef Gordon Ramsay and tried it.

Original Recipe:

Ingredients
1 tbsp (15ml) vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
450g (1lb) carrots, washed and sliced
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp ground coriander
1.2 ltr (2pts) vegetable stock
3tbsp chopped fresh coriander
Squeeze of lemon juice
Freshly grated nutmeg to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper


Method
Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onions, carrots and garlic, sauté for 4 mins, until they are beginning to soften but not colour. Stir in the ground coriander and plenty of seasoning and cook for 1 min.
Add the stock and bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 20 mins or until the carrots are really tender. Stir in the fresh coriander.Whizz the soup with a stick blender or transfer to a food processor. Add the lemon juice and nutmeg to taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Reheat until just hot, but not boiling, and serve.

We obviously tweaked it, as per Indian Ingredient size

  • 1 tbsp (15ml) Olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 carrots, washed, peeled and sliced
  • 6 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1 ltr vegetable stock
  • 3 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
  • Half Squeeze of lemon juice
  • Pinch Nutmeg to taste
  • Sprinkle of dried Parsley
  • Green Chilies to taste
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Method remains the same

If you making it for kids ( or adults who cant handle spice) skip green chillies and strain it before serving.

This is a perfect bowl of tasteful goodness that can help activate the taste buds and clear the any nasal congestion due to the monsoon.

TIPS:

  • Use some coriander stems while frying the onion for added flavour.
  • To enhance spices, add them to the pan before add the broth. Dried spices once roasted release more aroma and the nutrients are also activated.
