bellarose, from doing a search here on this MB I found this.

"I got myself the Revive Cafe Cookbook from the cafe in Auckland. Made a beautiful carrot and coriander soup as our starter on Christmas Day.

Maybe it would be worthwhile checking to see if your local library, if you have one nearby, can source that book for you i.e. unless you are lucky enough for kintama, or someone else who has that book or the recipe, to see your thread/request.

I enjoy the flavour of coriander seed but not the leaf or root so I'm not sure if there is a recipe in any of my books for Carrot and Coriander Soup however I'll keep an eye out for it when I'm browsing.

Good luck.:-))

I have the Revive Cafe book.(It's great.)
The soup has ground coriander, not leaf or root.
Am happy to post the recipe if anyone would like it.
It is a little unusual.

geldof, yes please to post the recipe as that was exactly what bellarose was requesting at #1 and with the soup not having the actual coriander plant in it, it's very likely to appeal to me/usas well.
:-))

There's a link to the recipe book.
It gives and over view and also some of the recipes.

My eyes are getting a little blurry tonight, but I have the book by my computer so will post the recipe in the morning.

I also have the book. Here is the recipe
2 onions roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic crushed or chopped
1 tbsp rice bran oil
5 large carrots, roughly chopped
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
3 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
4 cups hot water
4 tbsp date puree or honey
1 tsp salt
1 cup raw cashew nuts
1 cup cold water
2 carrots, grated.

Cook onion, garlic and oil until clear ( not coloured)
Add carrots,nutmeg,coriander,cumin-
and water and simmer until carrots are tender. Add salt and date puree ( or honey) and blend with a stick blender ( or put in a food processor or blender) Using a blender or stick in a sep container, blend cashews and cold water together then add to carrot mixture. Taste for sweetness and saltiness and modify if necessary. Add grated carrot just before serving.

Thanks so much for posting the recipe Pam.Is that a book that you use often i.e. would you recommend it as a must-have!:-))

Sorry, just came in to C and P.

It's an interesting book IMO, 245sam.
It's vegetarian, and the majority of recipes are dairy and gluten free.
If you like cooking, it is full of good ideas to adapt.
I have made several things from it.
My daughter is vegetarian, and her husband is vegan and prefers raw.

I would certainly recommend it. I bought it a few weeks ago and so far have made just one recipe from it which was delicious. i have posted it on the vegetarian thread this morning.

There are a few different ways to do it. You bliacalsy use a starchy carbohydrate as the cream base. Potatoes, rice, or flour are all good bases for a creamy soup, and then the flavors? need to be works on to taste right. Garlic and onions are crucial in my opinion, and nutritional yeast will give a nice flavor along with salt and pepper. Nutmeg is often used in cream soups or alfredo sauces, so I usually add a pinch.

Aw, only you played! And you are creorct. Of course :-)I was very surprised by the wide open fields and hedgerows, this was towards the southwestern point of Staten Island. The whole thing seems to be North Mount Loretto State Forest, splitting into Butler Woods and Long Pond Park.
