Tonight, Rory will cook a Carrot, Coconut and Lemon grass Soup.
"I tasted a soup with these ingredients in Laos a few years ago and when I came home I set about recreating that delicious flavour. Carrot soup is a funny thing as you imagine it would be easy, but in fact it can be difficult to achieve a really flavoursome result", he says. "However, with this lovely combinations of flavours I think it works really well. It is worth noting that lemongrass grows successfully in this country in a glass house or conservatory or even just a south facing windowsill. If possible buy carrots with the mud still on as generally they have much more flavour than pre-washed ones". Click here for the recipe.
