I made some changes: I used only two fourteen oz cans of diced tomatoes (one of them fire roasted with green chiles). I used about 7 carrots, 2 cups of veggie broth (instead of one), one onion (instead of two), a shallot, a stalk of celery and no red pepper or brown sauce. Even with using significantly less tomatoes, I felt the tomato flavor overpowered the carrot flavor. It was still a very delicious tomato, carrot and cilantro soup.

Wow! The flavors are so fresh and bright. It’s more like a tomato soup, though. I used whole milk instead of cream to cut the calories. Didn’t use brown sauce – I had no idea what that was until I googled it. I wonder if it’s even sold in the U.S.

This was not my favorite

DO NOT use a food processor to puree this…it will end up chunky which is appealing neither to the eye nor the palate. A blender with “liquefy” will probably work. Please note though, this is not so much a carrot soup as it is a tomato soup with a carrot-y aftertaste. Thank goodness I served this on the side of “Pico de Gallo Chicken Quesadillas” from this site (*****) or dinner would have been a disaster.

Pretty good carrot soup. I didn`t use a balsamic vinegar and I used less onion.
Sean Molina
Real easy and very tasty. A quick treat to whip up for my vegan pals. I’m going to serve the rest over rice and fried fish tonight.

Pretty good but it seemed like it was missing something. My boyfriend added some nutmeg to his bowl but I personally didn’t care for that. Not sure if I would make it again.
Melissa Alvarez
where is the coriander in this recipe? very good, but more tomato than carrot.
Russell Valencia
Sum it up in one word…Delicious! Substituted the cream with milk. Turned out absolutely yummy – finished it till the last drop!
Janet Hancock
Not what I was expecting form the name…took some getting used to at first. The pepper certainly gives it a mexican flare. Can’t decide if I will make again. Won’t be what I will use for my “carrot” soup however. Taste is quite good though.
Victoria Johnson
The best soup I have made yet everyone loved it and asked for more. I never added the cream but stired in a bit of cream fraiche as I served it which looked and tasted great. Can’t wait to make it again Thanks.
Katherine Wheeler
Absolutely delicious. Didn’t have the cream and used milk instead and found it really tasty.
Jeanne Sims
This wasn’t exactly like the traditional carrot and coriander soup I was looking for (probably because of the tomatoes), but it did turn out very tasty. We enjoyed mopping it up with bread, and it was even better on the third (!) day. Will make it again, thanks.

I loved this but husband didnt like it at all- he thought it was too much like a “sauce” rather than a soup. I disagree but thought it fair to present 2 differing opinions! On the upside, this means it is also FAB as a sauce for pasta etc, as already commented by a reviewer!
David Watson
This soup is amazing! I only had 1 400g (14 ounce)tin of tomatoes, so I used a litre (2.1 pints) of low salt vege stock instead. It’s a lovely thick soup with a great texture. added a little extra cream at the end as our chilli was a burner!! Will definitely make again.

Mmmmmm, this is so delicious! I made it for my lunch tomorrow, but now I can’t stop eating it! I used chicken broth instead of veggie, and homemade hot sauce instead of the chile pepper, as that’s what I had on hand. I could actually imagine using this as a pasta sauce, only pureeing it a little so that it is still quite chunky. Thanks so much, Jon!
Kristina Salazar
Wonderful soup easy to make and went down really well with all the family!
Jon Smith
A yummy soup indeed! I must note, however, to make this truly suited for a vegetarian diet, I omitted the brown sauce and worcestershire sauce. (Brown sauce is traditionally beef-based and worcestershire contains anchovies.) I compensated with a little extra garlic and cilantro.
David Watson
I made this soup for a dinner party for 30 people and they raved about it! They all came back for seconds and I didnt have a drop left over.
