Soups have a special place in my heart - they can be as light or heavy as one chooses. As rich or as low cal as one pleases, and barring a few vegetables, most veggies lend themselves to a soup. As readers of this blog would know by now, I have over 30+ varieties of vegetarian soups (mostly vegan and practically all of them GF !). My current fav being Mint-Pea Soup

This low-cal version of Lemon Coriander Soup was long in the making (posting) to this blog, and as the little one and I love this, we prefer this mostly to the Tomato Soup that the older girl chooses while ordering out. Mom loves most soups that I make, barring the cheese-based (and so do I) and the Oriental ones (think Manchow, Manchurian, Wonton etc)
The poor husband, on his part would have soup as a punishment rather than nourishment (he gets his veggies sorted in the form of stir fries, stews, curries etc) and couldn’t really care much about soups (I secretly think he doesn't have the patience to sip through a soup and whenever we dine out too, he heads straight to main course and we are poor souls left with a bowl of soup in our hands.. Ssshh , but let’s keep this as a secret thought, shall we ? 🙂 )
Ahem, anyways, I have a majority and we have a good time making and consuming them !

Hearty, warm and comforting - This is what I best describe this soup. I love lemon coriander soup, in fact all the broth based soups over the cream ones. Light and delicious.
Priya Iyer says
I adore lemon coriander soup, and slurp it up like no one's business whenever we get hold of a good one in restaurants we visit. Glad to see a healthy recipe for the same that I can easily recreate at home.

This Lemon and coriander soup looks so droolworthy.I have never tried this soup. Looks so tempting and perfect for the cold weather.
SRI says
This is one. method that I haven't tried, and it makes so much sense. Instead of slow cooking the veggies as I usually do, just pressure cook them! Im going to try out this quick and flavourful soup at the earliest. Thanks for the idea Kalyani! Sujata Shukla from PepperOnPizza

I love the homemade lemon coriander soup because the one we eat at hotels seem to be devoid of veges. Looks very inviting.
Sasmita says
I often make coriander soup during this winter season with the fresh coriander leaves which are plentifully available The vegan version is a lovely addition as well !
