Ingredients used in Lemon Coriander Soup
- Vegetable stock – We start the soup by first preparing a vegetable stock with distinguished flavors of coriander in it.
- Here we need to wash the coriander stems thoroughly in order to get rid of any sand or mud. Just wash and roughly chop the stems.
- Coriander seeds
- Garlic – The quantity of garlic is completely your choice. I like to add lots of garlic in my soup.
- Onion and carrots are a must in any vegetable stock. You can also add other vegetables like beans, cauliflower, cabbage, etc all in less quantity.
