    LEMON AND CORIANDER SOUP



    An aromatic and healthy soup. Fragrant lemon grass makes this clear soup very appetizing and the coriander lends its own district flavour and colour.

    For the stock

    2 to 3 pieces lemon grass, washed

    1 to 2 chillies, slit

    Ingredients

    ¼ cup carrots, sliced

    ¼ cup mushrooms, sliced

    ¼ cup cabbage, finely chopped

    2 spring onions, sliced

    1 teaspoon oil

    salt and pepper to taste

    garnish

    1 tablespoon chopped coriander

    1 teaspoon lemon juice



    Method


    1.
    Combine the lemon grass and chillies in a pan with 6 cups of water and bring to a boil.


    2.
    Simmer till it reduces to approx. 4 cups. Strain and keep the stock aside discarding the lemon grass and chillies.



    3.
    Heat the oil in a pan and add the carrots, mushrooms, cabbage and spring onions and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes.


    4.
    Add the stock, salt and pepper and bring to a boil


    5.
    Simmer till the vegetables are crunchy.


    6.
    Serve hot garnished with coriander and lemon juice.
