Carrot & Coriander Soup

     Winter is in full force and Montreal is covered under a heavy blanket of snow, so we are now officially in soup weather. I like this soup because it's both rich and comforting, but also more vibrant that other typical winter soups like beef & barley. Carrot & coriander is a classic combination, so in this recipe I use both ground coriander seeds and fresh coriander leaves (cilantro.) Toasting the ground seeds with the onions gives the soup a rich, nutty aroma and the fresh cilantro brings a welcome brightness on a cold winter's day.
      When choosing the carrots, look for smaller ones, because they will be sweeter and less bitter than over-sized carrots. Carrots that are sold with the green tops still attached tend to be of a higher quality than those sold without. Leftover soup will keep well in the freezer.

    B1 Back upstairs, this time towards the southeast. Run to the right and you'll see a hammer plate, as well as a raised set of tiles arranged in a specific pattern. Copy it down, as you'll have to recreate it up above. But the ecosystem at the mouth of the Amazon seemed to be doing well, despite the muddy water thereblocking much sunlight from reaching the reef. In the northern part of the plume, where the sea floor is shielded from sunlight much of the year, sponges and carnivorous creatures dominated. In the sunnier south, colorful corals which depend on a symbiotic relationship with photosynthetic algae and reef building organisms called Coach Outlet Online 80 OFF polyps became more common..
