    Transfer to a food processor in batches and process until smooth. Return to the pan, then gently reheat, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning to taste. Ladle into individual serving bowls, swirl the yogurt over and sprinkle with the chopped coriander leaves and paprika. Serve immediately.

I wouldn’t put in seeds next time because there’s bits in it not matter how much you blitz. Instead I’d dry fry ground spices which would work just as well.

Really enjoyed this soup. Held back on the orange juice because of previous comments but after tasting the soup added the rest. Will definitely make again.

Easy and tasty but v small portions. Could easily be doubled. Didn't use dollop of yogurt & it still tasted great

Amazing soup recipe. For me, just the right balance of ingredients and fab with the fresh chopped coriander dropped in before serving. I froze mine in batches and it freezes and reheats really well. Not a huge dollop of yogurt fan but it was just as lovely without.

My version really wasn't enough for 4 people but as there were only 3 of us, all was well. I used the juice of 2 x clementines and topped it up with orange juice. I also used goose stock, instead of vegetable so there was lovely depth of flavour.
