Tomato and Coriander Soup Recipe

This easy tomato and coriander soup makes a delicious light and healthy lunch.  It's mildly spiced and will certainly warm you up on a cold day!

Why is it that now summer has arrived I keep making soup?  I couldn't tell you.  What I can tell you is that this soup is really delicious, even on a warm day.  It's also a great way of using up some of those giant bunches of fresh herbs that are so much better value than the small packs.   Some people might object to eating coriander in every meal for 4 days straight but luckily none of those people live with me.

Curry powder is key to this tomato and coriander soup

This soup is adapted from my basic tomato soup recipe that I make quite regularly.   Although I normally use individual spices when cooking rather than curry powder, this time I didn't want it to be a strongly spiced tomato soup.  The curry powder just gives it a mild curry flavour that goes really well with the coriander.  Of course, there's nothing to stop you adding more.

Can you adapt this tomato and coriander soup?

Most recipes are there to be adapted and you can easily vary this soup by using different herbs instead of the coriander.   You could also miss out or substitute the curry powder altogether.  This soup has milk in but to make  vegan version, you could just add some extra stock.   You could even just stick with the plain tomato soup that this was adapted from.

What can you do with the leftovers?

If you have any soup leftover then it will keep in the fridge for about 3 days.   Just reheat it in a saucepan or the microwave until piping hot.

You can also freeze it for up to three months.  However, because it has milk in, it can separate and have a grainy texture after being frozen.   I prefer to just eat any leftovers the next day!
