CHAMPAGNE CARROT CAPPUCCINO

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and coriander seeds and cook for about 7 minutes.
• Tip in the carrots, bay leaves, celery and potato and soften for a further 1 minute.
• Pour in the vegetable stock and half the wine, and bring to the boil. Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
• Puree the soup in a food processor or liquidiser until smooth, and pass through a fine sieve. Check the seasoning and adjust as necessary.
• When ready to serve, reheat gently. Pour a couple of tablespoons of Champagne into each bowl when serving. The soup will fizz gently. Serve at once, accompanied with bruschetta.

GINGER, CARROT, AND ORANGE CAPPUCCINO CUP SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a large saucepan or dutch oven, coated with cooking oil spray, over medium heat.
• Add onion and celery; cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add carrots; continue to cook another 5 minutes.
• Add broth and ginger; bring to a boil.
• Add orange juice and salt. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until vegetables are very tender, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer mixture (in batches if necessary) to a blender or food processor; blend until smooth.
• Reheat if necessary; ladle into bowls.
• Drizzle oil over soup.
• Alternative method of cooking if you have a Vita Mix blender: I like to skip having to cut the carrots. I heat the onions and celery. Meanwhile, I put the other ingredients into the Vita Mix blender - carrots, broth, ginger, o.j., and salt (which I omit). When the onions and celery are cooked, I add them to the Vita Mix blender and puree the mixture on High for about a minute or so. Then, I return the mixture to the saucepan and heat it through. I ladle it into bowls and add the oil to the soup. Very easy and definitely tasty!
