There are many ways to make carrot soup. I have made it with carrots and lentil soup. You can find the link to the recipe:
This time round, I have made carrot soup with coriander. Frying the carrots in butter and honey caramelised the carrots and brings out the natural sweetness of them.
To maintain that luminous natural orange colour of the bright orange, you have reduce the amount of cream (which dilutes the colour). Also you can use the spice turmeric to maintain that brightness. Using more carrots will also maintain that concentrated orange colour.
The spices such as ginger, turmeric and ground coriander complements the sweetness of the carrots. The spring onion and coriander make the soup bright and vibrant. Brilliant soup to have in the winter as well as spring. It is so light and tasty too.
