Carrot & Coriander Soup: A spring essential. My version is vegan, fat-free, quick and super duper simple to make.
It's actually embarrassing how easy it is to put together. And it's even more embarrassing that it's only 70 calories per serving!
Which makes it an absolutely perfect starter - not too heavy but still satisfying and full of flavour.

Whenever I come home carrying a bag of vegetables from the market, my dog knows if I've bought carrots.
She immediately sniffs them out and digs her face into the bag (whilst I'm still carrying it into the house).
I especially love when they've still got their tops on, because she looks so amusing carrying around a carrot, tripping over the leaves! I'll have to take a photo of it next time.
As for coriander... we're pretty obsessed with that in our house too. One of my favourite ways to use it is to roast it with some broccoli and garlic. It's HEAVEN.
Despite being only 5 ingredients, fat-free and ready in 20 minutes... this soup is so creamy and flavourful, you wouldn't know someone hadn't been slaving over a pan for hours making it ;-)
This soup is:
- Vegetarian & vegan
- Dairy-free
- Gluten-free & paleo
- Nut-free
- Soy-free
- Fat-free
- Only 70 calories per serving!

I wonder if this soup can be frozen? I have a lot of carrots to use up

Ditto on the serving size question. You can't give a carb cont and have "1 gram" as the serving size. As a Type 1 diabetic I require the carb count for every meal in order of adjust my bolus insulin. The data would be much appreciated.
