This is our favorite version of carrot soup and we are deeming it the soup of the year! It has plenty of coriander for a perfectly spiced spoonful at every bite.
Carrot and coriander soup is a classic soup for a reason. This version picks up a little spice from the jalapeños and draws out the sweetness from the carrots by roasting them first.
