  2. Add the water and stock cube and bring to the boil (you can use homemade vegetable stock if you have it), cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until the carrots are really tender. Stir in the fresh coriander.
  3. Using a stick blender or food processor, blend it until it is smooth. Add the lemon juice and nutmeg to taste and adjust the salt and pepper as necessary.
  4. Reheat until just hot but not boiling and serve. Garnish with a swirl of cream if you want to. if you're counting calories, then just skip this ... It is still a very delicious soup!
  5. Note: if you intend to freeze this soup, add the cream after it has been reheated - just before being gobbled up with a serve of fresh or toasted bread.
