VEGAN CREAM OF CORIANDER (CILANTRO) SOUP
Since I can't grow it to save my life and the supermarket seems to only sell it in giant bunches I constantly find myself left with a big bunch of coriander (cilantro) hanging out in my fridge. I hate, hate, hate wasting food so I had to come up with a way to use it up before it died a slow and messy death in the back of my fridge!

CREAMY CORIANDER / CILANTRO SOUP
WOW! Ok, I'm new to this soup, but what an introduction! The best way I can think to categorize this cuisine would be French/Asian Fusion. I love cilantro -- my husband is unfortunate enough to possess enzymes that render cilantro "soapy tasting" -- and despite the recipe title, the result here is mild. And rich, but not over-the-top rich, if you follow. If you don't follow, get in line! Oops, sorry. Anyway, try this. I insist. Times are estimated since it always takes me WAAAAY longer to do anything than a normal person.

Steps:
- Simmer the carrot, potato and leek in the broth until soft, roughly 10 minutes.
- To make the béchamel sauce, melt the butter over low heat in a deep saucepan.
- Sprinkle the flour over the butter and whisk until a pale golden color.
- Add the milk and whisk constantly for 10 minutes until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Season with the soy sauce and pepper.
- Remove from the heat, whisk in the egg yolks, being careful not to curdle the mixture, which will happen if it's too hot. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
- In a food processor or blender, puree the carrot, potato and leek mixture with the broth. You'll have to do this in a few batches unless you have a REALLY BIG blender. ;).
- Add the coriander leaves and soy sauce and blend until smooth.
- Add the béchamel sauce and nuts to the food processor or blender and blend/chop. I added the nuts to about 2 cups of fluid so they'd break up easier instead of flying around in a huge sea of soup as far from the evil blades at the bottom as possible. I tricked them! NYA-HA-HAAAAA!
- *ahem* Sorry.
- Pour everything back into the saucepan over low heat and heat through, stirring.
- While still warm, toss in the cheese, stir for one minute and serve.
