2 tsp olive oil

1 Ib onions, peeled and sliced

1/2 tsp ground coriander

2 Ib carrots, peeled and sliced

3 pints chicken broth

1/2 cup whipping cream

1 small bunch fresh cilantro, stalks removed, leaves finely chopped

salt, freshly ground black pepper

Heat the oil in a deep pan and lightly fry the onions with the coriander over very low heat, stirring from time to time, until they are transparent (about 5 minutes). Add the carrots and mix thoroughly. Pour in the measured chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat and leave to simmer for about 30 minutes. The carrots should be very soft. Remove from the heat and add the cream. Blend the soup to a puree, reheat, and adjust the seasoning. Garnish with the chopped cilantro just before serving.
