Last week the lovely Scotty Brand sent me some carrots to make something with them. They sent through a recipe for Carrot and Orange soup. I wasn’t sure about this as my oldest isn’t keen on oranges so I went for the safe option of Carrot and Coriander soup as it is a firm favourite in the house hold. I hadn’t made it in the slow cooker before so thought I’d give it a go.
I peeled and chopped the 500g of Scotty Brand carrots and popped them in to the Slow Cooker pot.
I peeled and chopped up two large Scotty Brand Potatoes and two medium onions and added them to the Slow Cooker pot.
I crumpled up two vegetable stock cubes, 1 teaspoon of ground coriander and 1 teaspoon of fresh chopped coriander and put them into the Slow Cooker pot.
I added 3 pints of boiling water to the pot and put it onto cook on low for 12 hours.
Once done I blitzed it with the hand blender until smooth. Be careful not to get splash back as it’s hot hot hot.
Once it is all smooth I served it up. It required a little bit of seasoning for mine and hubby’s but was perfect for the boys. I added some chopped coriander for decoration.
What do you think?
I have to say it was very yummy. Healthy and perfect for the boys. I took some for lunch the next day and we froze some. It freezes well. I added a little milk to the little one for his to cool it down.
Serve with a big chunk of bread and you have a tasty and filling meal. It really was delicious and the boys cleared their bowls.
Scotty Brand products are excellent and I will be making more dishes with them, please watch this space. Have a look at their website for more inspiration. Also their facebook and twitter accounts have further information, so make sure you’re following.
