    Made this last night for today's lunch - its wonderful! Didn't use the whole 1.2 litres of stock, but added a litre and added a touch more when soup was blended and I could check its consistency. Very very tasty - quick and easy to make too!

    This was lovely though I did add double the amount of coriander. Quick, easy, cheap and tasty. What more could you want?

    Really easy, tastes brilliant - super cheap to make (especially on a student budget!) I'm a bit of a fan of mixing some double cream in after it's been pureed.

    Stuck to the recipe this time instead of just bunging as much in as I wanted and it turned out great. Really nice consistency.

    Brilliant soup, have now made it several times. Some dried leaf coriander added early in the cooking instead of the fresh coriander at the end also works if you haven't got the latter to hand, but it is better with the fresh leaves. Another 'Tick VG with Gold Star' for the BBC Good Food Team for this one.

    I love this recipe. So simple and goes down well with all the family. I double the recipe and then freeze it for myself for lunch during the week. It's very healthy.

    Lovely, fresh and very economical too! Add half a teaspoon of Tumeric for a more vibrant carrot colour, additional health benefits too! Another variation is to add a tablespoon of honey before whizzing in the mixer, this brings out the natural sweetness of the carrots without making it "sweet".

    Yummy, made this three times now, love the flavour. Added another half potato to make it slightly thicker as its quite runny. But a wonderful tasting soup.

    Having just made this for the first time i'm currently sat with the bowl on my lap enjoying! As everyone else has said, it was easy to make and tastes great. I used olive oil instead of vegetable oil, threw in a couple of celery sticks as i love the flavour it gives soups, and also added some dried chilli (i used scotch bonnets, but chilli flakes would do the same thing) to heat it up a little. Really tasty and a great quick option.

    I've made this a few times with great success every time. It's simple and easy to follow and doesn't matter too much if you have less carrot or more of something else than specified. I've even substituted parsnip.
