CREAMY CORIANDER / CILANTRO SOUP



Creamy Coriander / Cilantro Soup image

WOW! Ok, I'm new to this soup, but what an introduction! The best way I can think to categorize this cuisine would be French/Asian Fusion. I love cilantro -- my husband is unfortunate enough to possess enzymes that render cilantro "soapy tasting" -- and despite the recipe title, the result here is mild. And rich, but not over-the-top rich, if you follow. If you don't follow, get in line! Oops, sorry. Anyway, try this. I insist. Times are estimated since it always takes me WAAAAY longer to do anything than a normal person.

Time 50m

Yield 8 modest servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (5 ounce) carrots, peeled and diced
1 (3 1/2 ounce) potatoes, peeled and diced
1 leek, cleaned and thinly sliced (white part only)
6 1/4 cups beef broth (I used half of each) or 6 1/4 cups chicken broth (I used half of each)
1 cup coriander leaves or 1 cup cilantro leaf
1 tablespoon soy sauce
150 g cashew nuts
1/2 cup emmenthaler cheese or 1/2 cup good quality swiss cheese, etc
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
6 tablespoons milk, more if needed (I ended up using about 2/3 cup)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 pinch pepper
2 egg yolks

Steps:

  • Simmer the carrot, potato and leek in the broth until soft, roughly 10 minutes.
  • To make the béchamel sauce, melt the butter over low heat in a deep saucepan.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the butter and whisk until a pale golden color.
  • Add the milk and whisk constantly for 10 minutes until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  • Season with the soy sauce and pepper.
  • Remove from the heat, whisk in the egg yolks, being careful not to curdle the mixture, which will happen if it's too hot. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
  • In a food processor or blender, puree the carrot, potato and leek mixture with the broth. You'll have to do this in a few batches unless you have a REALLY BIG blender. ;).
  • Add the coriander leaves and soy sauce and blend until smooth.
  • Add the béchamel sauce and nuts to the food processor or blender and blend/chop. I added the nuts to about 2 cups of fluid so they'd break up easier instead of flying around in a huge sea of soup as far from the evil blades at the bottom as possible. I tricked them! NYA-HA-HAAAAA!
  • *ahem* Sorry.
  • Pour everything back into the saucepan over low heat and heat through, stirring.
  • While still warm, toss in the cheese, stir for one minute and serve.
