Recipe of Lemon Coriander Soup | How to Make Lemon Corainder Soup

Lemon Coriander Soup is a tangy soup with lots of vegetables and must be served hot

On my little one's naming ceremony we hosted a lunch for our close relatives. Lemon Coriander Soup was among one of the appetizers on the menu. It was a huge hit among the guests and everyone liked it a lot. That is when I decided to try this soup at home. My baby is now 15 month old and he just loves this soup. It is full of healthy ingredients and I happily make this for him every week. 

If your kid or any other family member doesn't like coriander leaves, here is a nice way to include them in their diet. Coriander leaves have a lot of benefits and I make sure to feed them to my family. I am sure all you guys are going to love it. I also make peanut coriander chutney to include coriander leaves in our daily diet.

You must strain the soup if you want to make a clear lemon coriander soup, but I like to serve it just like that.

So lets proceed step by step for making lemon coriander soup

We require vegetable stock for making lemon coriander soup. So first let me show you how to make vegetable stock.

Vegetable stock is water with flavours of vegetables. You can make vegetable stock the way you prefer. Chop and wash all the veggies like carrots, cauliflower, cabbage, potatoes, onions and coriander leaves. Boil the veggies for about 10-15 minutes 

Strain the water and vegetable stock is ready. You can store this stock in refrigerator and use it as required. You can store it for a maximum of 2 months period. However I prefer using it within a week.

Before we start making soup lets do all the preparations. Finely chop ginger, garlic, onions, spring onion bulb, cabbage and coriander leaves. Cut carrots into cubes.

When you chop coriander leaves preserve the stem also.

Heat oil in a deep bottomed non stick vessel. Add the chopped onions, garlic, ginger, and spring onion bulb

Saute the onions till they become translucent. After onions become translucent add besan/gram flour

Roast gram flour/besan for 2-3 minutes till you get nice aroma.

Mix all the ingredients well and add vegetable stock we prepared

Now add cabbage, carrots and coriander stem and bring it to boil

Add salt and  black pepper powder 

cook till carrots are soft and tender and add some coriander leaves

  

Cook for a couple of minutes and finally add the lemon juice

Lemon Coriander Soup is ready. Many people would prefer to strain the soup before serving however I prefer to have it with the vegetables.
