Carrot, Sweet Potato Soup with Coriander
Carrot and Coriander Soup is almost a staple menu item in the Pubs here in the UK in the fall. It is amazingly creamy and sweet but has no dairy and no refined sugar. I have tried several different versions of my own as well as on the ground research at many of the pubs. The idea of adding an apple came from Once Upon a Chef and I liked the added sweetness it gave it. Since I have an abundance of Apples and I always have leftover Sweet Potatoes, this was the perfect recipe this week. Using leftover Orange and Maple Sweet Potatoes makes this soup even more flavorful. I added chopped spicy little Red Peppers for little pop.

Carrot, Sweet Potato and Coriander Soup
No sign of when you Add the chopped apple , I presume it must be towards the end of cooking before blending
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. It sure doesn’t say when to add the apple! I add it with the carrots and let it cook down so it is nice and soft. I will fix the instructions.
