CARROT AND CORIANDER SOUP RECIPE – LIQUID OR SOFT FOOD DIET …
Adapted from deliaonline. I “veganized” this recipe by using coconut oil and coconut milk instead of butter and creme fraiche, so this soup is also healthier, with 0% cholesterol. I added toasted pumpkins seeds for a nice contrasting crunch to this silky smooth soup.
