I love a nice, warm bowl of soup on a cool winter day (and every day in Ireland is on the cooler side, whether winter or summer!) but I was surprised when the first time I ordered a vegetable soup, it came out creamy, not a lump in sight!<\/p>\n<p>I learned over time that traditional Irish soups are blended rather than the chunky soups I&#8217;d grown up with and over time, I learned to appreciate and even love the Irish soups (though I still frequented my favorite coffee chain that served soup with whole foods in it!)<\/p>\n<p>One of our favorite soups we encountered during our time in Ireland, and still hubby&#8217;s favorite, is Carrot and Coriander Soup. Coriander is a very popular herb in Ireland, though here in the US we generally know it as cilantro. The coriander spice we use in the US is actually the fruit (usually referred to as &#8220;seeds&#8221;) which has been ground.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to serve Carrot and Coriander Soup\u00a0at our annual St. Patrick&#8217;s Day party this year alongside my usual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beyondmommying.com\/blog\/2014\/03\/10\/shepherds-pie\/\">Shepherd&#8217;s Pie<\/a>, <a
