ABOUT Coriander & Lemongrass Soup RECIPE

Here is a very easy refreshing soup made of coriander leaves and coconut milk. You can have them as a one-pot meal with few bread sticks or croutons. I served it with some skewered grilled eggplants.

2-3 cups, coriander leaves, roughly chopped along with the stems
3-4 stalks lemongrass, finely chopped
1-2 tbsp; butter
2 onion, chopped
2-3 garlic cloves, chopped

Instructions

Melt butter in a pan. Add the onion, lemongrass, garlic and green chili. Saute till they turn slightly brown in colour.
Add the stock cube, water, coconut milk, salt, pepper powder, coriander leaves and kaffir lime leaves. Pressure cook for 3-4 whistles.
When it cools down, discard the lime leaves and blend until smooth. Add lime juice and strain through a sieve.
