As autumn arrives, many of us crave the comforting warmth of soup.
Carrots make an excellent addition, providing both nutritional benefits and rich flavor.

Chef Select Carrot and Coriander Soup 600g, £1.59 – 4/5
I was a bit surprised that Lidl's version is priced 10p higher than Aldi's offering.
Both retailers use similar packaging, and the ingredients are almost the same, featuring 46 percent carrots, along with a touch of cream and honey.

Upon heating, it emits a delightful aroma, and the soup appears fresh.
With its golden color and thick texture, it could easily be mistaken for homemade and is bursting with flavor.
A wonderful, warming bowl.
Carrot and Coriander Soup 600g, £1.49 – 5/5
With its bright sunshine hue, strong root-vegetable fragrance, and thick texture, this soup resembles a hearty homemade broth.
It is quite thick, so it may not suit those who prefer a smoother soup.

This soup has minimal ingredients—carrots, onions, stock, and coriander—which I appreciated.
It also features a subtle herbal note.
However, it could use a bit more seasoning, particularly some pepper.
Carrot and Coriander Soup 600g, £1.85 – 2/5
This blended vegetable soup doesn’t provide much justification for its higher price, although the visible flecks of coriander are a nice touch.
With 52 percent carrots, it offers a decent root flavor but leans towards the sweeter side.

This sweetness may be due to the addition of orange juice, which I believe is unnecessary.
The strong flavor of white pepper left an unpleasant aftertaste.
Overall, it was somewhat odd to eat, and the recipe feels unbalanced.
Carrot and Coriander Soup 600g, £1.50 – 3/5
This soup is refreshing and budget-friendly, containing a variety of ingredients, including butter, turmeric, leek, and parsley.
While some ingredients enhance the flavor, others, like sugar, seem unnecessary in a broth that is already sweet.
