Dump the onions and enough chicken stock to cover them in a large saucepan. Cover, bring to the boil, and simmer briskly until the onion is translucent and has begun to ‘fry’ in the stock. Add the spices, ginger, garlic and chilli to the pan and cook, stirring constantly, until they’re fragrant and have begun to change colour.

Add the carrots and chopped coriander stalks to the pan and stir well to combine. Pour over enough stock to cover the vegetables, cover and bring to the boil.

Simmer for about 25 minutes until the carrots are tender. Cool for about 5 minutes before liquidising to your desired consistency. Stir in the chopped coriander and season to taste.

If the soup is too thick, then thin down with some more stock, plain water or milk.
Use vegetable stock for vegetarian option
