Packed full of nutrient-rich vegetables combined with sweet curry flavours, sprig of coriander goes a long way with this dish. It makes for a great "in-between" season soup when the weather is still cold and but the bright greens and buds start to peer through the wet snow.

Its a great dish to freeze as well and keep for those days when you just wanna laze at home and curl up with a hot bowl of soup.
