  • 1 tablespoon of coriander seeds, crushed
  • 4 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil

Our Cache Clearing Carrot Coriander Soup is a modern twist on a classic recipe. The traditional carrot soup is known for its sweet and earthy flavor profile, but we've taken it a step further by infusing it with coriander seeds. This gives the soup a unique, slightly spicy, and aromatic flavor that beautifully complements the sweetness of the carrots.

The idea behind this recipe was to create a soup that is not only comforting and delicious, but also leaves a lasting impression. The addition of coriander was inspired by the Iron Chef's love for bold flavors and culinary creativity.

Carrot soup is a staple in many cultures around the world, from France to Japan, each with its own unique variations. Our version, with its vibrant color and flavor, stands out from the rest while still retaining the comfort and familiarity of the classic dish.

While the soup is delicious on its own, garnishing it with a dollop of sour cream adds a tangy creaminess that perfectly balances the spices, and the fresh coriander leaves not only add a pop of color but also bring out the soup's aromatic notes. The final result is a soup that is as visually striking as it is delicious - a true Iron Chef creation!
