Roasted carrot soup with vibrant coriander pesto - sweet, creamy, and zesty delight!
Ingredients:
  • 1kg carrots, peeled, coarsely chopped
  • 36.40 gm olive oil, plus extra, to drizzle
  • 1 brown onion, coarsely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 5.00 gm ground cumin
  • 1L (4 cups) Beef Style Liquid Stock
  • 20.00 ml coriander seeds, toasted, slightly crushed
  • 125.00 ml fresh coriander leaves
  • 45g (1/4 cup) raw unsalted macadamias
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 40.00 ml shredded parmesan
  • 3-72.80 gm olive oil
  • 21.00 gm fresh lemon juice
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan forced. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Arrange carrots on the tray and generously drizzle with half of the oil, then season with your favorite spices. Roast for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway, until the carrots are tender and caramelized.
  • For the pesto, combine coriander, macadamias, garlic, and parmesan in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped. While the processor is running, slowly pour in 2 tablespoons of oil until well mixed. Add lemon juice and blend until smooth. Adjust the consistency by stirring in 1-2 tablespoons of extra oil as needed.
  • In the same pan, heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cumin, cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add carrot and stock, bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Blend the soup with a stick blender until smooth, then season to taste.
  • Divide the soup into bowls, gently swirl in the pesto, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle coriander seeds, season with black pepper, and serve.
