Refreshing Carrot & Coriander Soup
Did you know a half cup of carrots can give you up to 73% of your daily requirement of vitamin A AND 9% of your daily vitamin K? This soup is one that my mum has made for me over the years and I still absolutely adore it. The coriander complements the carrot and is rich in immune-boosting antioxidants.
Treat yourself to this wholesome soup when you’re sick or to be warmed up on a cold winter day!
