- 250 g carrot(s) chopped roughly (no need to peel)
- 500 ml boiled water
- 1 vegetable stock I use gluten free Knorr Stock Pots [see notes for alternatives]
- 1 clove garlic (powder, puree or clove) Ideally a clove but you can use 1tsp of powder or puree.
- 40 g coriander I used fresh, you can use 2tsp of dried coriander leaves
- 100 ml soya cream or usual dairy free alternative I used Heavenly unsweetened cream
- salt & pepper to taste I used 8 peppercorns on this occasion and approx. 1tsp salt
Add the roughly chopped carrots (no need to spend time peeling) to a large saucepan and add the garlic clove (or powder/puree), the gluten free stock cube and the peppercorns (or a good few twists of the pepper mill).
Pour 500ml of boiled water into the saucepan and boil for 5-8 mins (better to add a lid to prevent too much liquid escaping as steam.
Once the carrots have softened either transfer into a blender and pulse until smooth or hand blend. I normally use my hand blender for this - less washing up.
Once the carrots have been fully blended, add the fresh coriander and blitz again.
Finally add the cream and stir in, adding salt to taste.
If eating immediately pour into soup bowls and enjoy with your favourite gluten free bread.
If saving for later pour into your sterilised jar or Tupperware and seal immediately
Allow to cool completely before putting in the fridge.
To reheat your soups simple pop in the microwave until heated through or bring to the desired heat in a saucepan.
Enjoy with a delicious gluten free crusty roll plastered in dairy free spread!
Gluten Free Stock Cubes
I always use Knorr Rich Beef Stock pots in this chilli con carne but there are other versions of stock by Knorr that are also gluten free. I find the stock pots are often on multi-buy special offer so only buy them when this is the case.
NOTE: gravy pots are NOT gluten free.
Other stock pots are OXO who now have gluten free stock pots (not cubes, these are not currently gluten free). Kallo do gluten free stock cubes and granules and Marigold make gluten free and vegan Bouillon.
