Slimming World Carrot & Coriander Soup

Many of my readers were asking me if they could use the soup maker for Slimming World Speed Days, so right in the middle of doing a Slimming World Speed Soup Week, I decided to go back to my favourite carrot and coriander soup in the soup maker and binge on it for the day.

I love that you can load into the soup maker your favourite vegetables, such as carrots, add stock and seasoning and you have a yummy carrot soup made from scratch.

Where was this when I first discovered Slimming World way back in 1994. I was a fat teen that ate too many takeaways, too much chocolate and didn’t do any exercise.

Because the 90’s processed food diet was happening, even on Slimming World there was no fresh soup made with lots of fresh vegetables. Instead it was just bad food choices, but they were low calorie food choices, so you would lose your weight.

Though on Slimming World right now, I love that you can make any soup you like in the soup maker. You can just grab some cheap vegetables from the supermarket, prep them, load them into the soup maker and you have soup.

You also don’t have to make slimming world carrot and coriander soup if you don’t want to. Simply mix and match ingredients to make a soup you would love to eat.

Slimming World Thai Carrot Soup
Slimming World Spicy Carrot Soup
Slimming World Carrot & Ginger Soup

Instead of using coriander in your carrot soup, swap it for another seasoning. Such as chilli flakes for a spicy carrot soup, fresh ginger for a ginger and carrot soup, or even a Thai seasoning.

Any of these will give a whole new flavour to your Slimming World Carrot Soup.

Soup Maker Carrot & Coriander Soup

However, I do have one complaint. I was reading my new soup maker manual and it had a small recipe booklet.

Every single one of them had a soup maker recipe that was high in oil and high in calories. Yet I was thinking that most of my soup maker readers follow either Slimming World or Weight Watchers.

The one for carrot soup was double the calories of the soup maker carrot and coriander soup recipe I am sharing with you today.

Can you believe that?

Is Carrot & Coriander Soup Good For You?

Yes it is. It is loaded with carrots, homemade vegetable stock and coriander. Ideal for when you want to follow a healthy diet and want to eat more vegetables.

Also, it is fantastic for feeding your kids when they are going through a “I hate vegetables” phase.

Even better, don’t include the coriander and you can use this carrot soup as a sauce base for pasta dishes, casseroles and so much more.

What Soup Can I Eat On Slimming World?

Any that are not in the soup maker recipe books that you get with your soup maker! That is because (like I mentioned above) they are high oil and not good for weight loss on Slimming World. Instead what I recommend is making a soup like we are today that is loaded with fresh vegetables, homemade stock and seasonings. Or check out our slimming world soup maker recipes list.

Ingredients For Slimming World Carrot & Coriander Soup

If you are wondering what the ingredients are for a Slimming World carrot and coriander soup, then you will be pleased to know you probably already have them in your kitchen waiting to be used.

Carrots
Coriander
Vegetable Stock
Seasoning

That is literally it, just four main ingredients to make the most delicious carrot and coriander soup in the soup maker.

Though let me tell you a little secret…..fresh coriander is almost impossible to source here in Portugal. You can get it. But only if you visit expensive supermarkets (think Waitrose) or need to go to Makro for it.

Therefore, when I made this carrot and coriander soup, I used dried coriander not fresh. It still tasted delicious and if you have not got a fresh herb in, know you have dried as a back up ingredient.

2 Tsp Coriander
Salt & Pepper

Place the lid on your soup maker and cook on the smooth soup setting for 28-30 minutes.
When it beeps remove the lid, add in any extra seasonings, stir, and serve.

Notes

Stock. What we do is use carrot soup from a previous batch and then water it down so that it is thin enough to become a stock. Its much more flavoursome, healthier, and cheaper than the alternative. Next time you make soup add 240ml of soup with 120ml of water to achieve this. Coriander. To our lovely readers in the United States, coriander is known in the US as cilantro.

Ginger. Want to make carrot and ginger soup in the soup maker? Swap coriander for 2cm cubes of ginger.

Time. The Morphy Richards soup maker has a standard 28 minute cook time, whilst the Ninja Foodi Soup Maker has 30 minutes, just go with whatever the setting is on your soup maker.
