    Winters are all set to bring cold waves and its perfect time to have a hot soup that is healthy and tasty! This Lemon Coriander Soup is a rich creamy vegetarian soup flavored with fresh coriander leaves, lemon, carrot and onion. You may not resist this absolutely delicious soup that is made without any cream.

    Lemon Coriander Soup

    Lemon Coriander Soup is a gluten-free Vegetable Soup made with a blend of vegetables like onion and carrot simmered slowly in a freshly made vegetable stock flavored with garlic, fresh coriander leaves and lemon juice.

    This healthy soup is not just delicious but a perfect evening snack for the winters. Those who are looking for a substitute of tea for a weight-loss plan would really appreciate this amazing soup.

    Ingredients Overview

    The main ingredients are lemon, coriander leaves and the vegetable stock.

    For the vegetable stock, I have used potatoes, onion, garlic and carrot. Boil them in a pressure cooker for two whistles on full, simmer for 2 min. Cool off, blend and Sieve and your fresh veg stock is ready.

    Though an optional step, I added a fresh stock for giving thickness to soup without adding processed foods like maida (All purpose flour) or corn flour or cream. If you skip it, it would be a thin soup and nothing that you might miss unless you like thick soups.

    I like the natural taste of soups and not the restaurant ones. Somehow, instead of acting as an appetizer, they make me full instead. When I started as a home chef, I decided to always use fresh ingredients. In fact, at my home, everyone like the thin soups as they are easy to digest.

    Making a thick soup or a thin soup is surely a choice that you may make.

    I would recommend a veg stock for thickening a soup.

    Recipe Overview

    The recipe for lemon coriander soup is simple and the vegetables that are used would be easily available in your kitchen.

    For the veg stock, you may add any vegetables available locally. The thickness is assured by potatoes and carrots. You may add pumpkin, cauliflower or bottle gourd as well.

    I love adding carrots to this veg soup. One may add small chunks of beans as well. Tomatoes are avoided in this soup. I add onions and carrots only as too many vegetables make it like a mix veg soup.

    The flavor of each soup depends on what goes in it. Here I wish to have coriander taking all the flavor and not the veggies. Hence, the vegetable stock is made in order to get the right proportion of flavors.

    Can I preserve the Veg Stock?

    You may preserve the vegetable stock in refrigerator for at most three days, though fresh one tastes best. I understand that you may have a tight schedule and eating healthy is also on priority. In winters, weather is conducive for preserving food.

    Can I Make this Soup Vegan?

    Yes. You may replace Desi ghee with any vegan oil and this soup is totally a vegan

    How this soup helps lose weight?

    Do you think every soup helps lose weight?

    NO!!

    It depends on various factors. If you want to load soups with artificial flavours, thickness, you may revisit your weight-loss goals.

    If you believe a shortcut to make a knorr soup can help you lose weight, forget the weight-loss agenda. There is no point fooling ourselves. To gain something, we have to be ready to give a little.

    Just before the evening walk, you may chop tomatoes, onion, garlic, carrots and boil them. Once back, blend, sieve, heat with spices and salt. You may add oil/ ghee. I always make them in ghee and they taste amazing!

    This is the simple steps that you may follow for most of the soups. Change ingredients to have different flavors.

    Benefits of Lemon and Coriander Soup

    This lemon and coriander soup is a great blend of fiber, carbs, Vitamin C, Vitamin A. A homemade soup helps you control the quantity of every ingredient.

    Its a perfect soup for warding off cold and cough in every age group. An Immunity- Booster Low Calorie Soup that aids in weight loss and is delicious too!

    Have it as a mid-day meal or an evening tea-time replacement.

    Stories behind this Soup

    Once named as a soup queen, I had made many soups when I decided to make this one. A friend of mine suggested me to try this soup. I was just wondering about its ingredients.

    There are certain foods that you love to eat and a few that you might not like to eat but love to cook.

    Lemon coriander is one soup which has my cooking passion. This is the first one that comes to my mind when I have a guest arriving. Generally, cooking for guests is stressful but with this soup on menu, I enjoy it fully!

    Let me know in comments what is that you enjoy cooking and not eating!
