Peel and wash the carrots. Chop 1 carrot finely and the rest roughly. Peel onion and cut into fine cubes
Steam fine carrot cubes in hot fat for about 5 minutes, remove. Sauté onion, rest of carrots and possibly coriander in hot frying fat. Stir in 600 ml water and stock. Bring to the boil, cover and cook for about 20 minutes
Drain the apricots and collect the juice. Cut 3 apricot halves into slices and set aside
Add the remaining apricots to the stock and puree everything finely. Season to taste with about 2 tbsp. apricot juice, salt and pepper. Heat the apricot slices and carrot cubes briefly. Serve with 1 tablespoon of cream each. Garnish with coriander green
The carrot-apricot soup can also be seasoned with curry instead of coriander. Simply sprinkle 1-2 teaspoons over the onions and steam briefly
