Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat, and cook the onions, carrots, garlic, and chile pepper until tender. Mix in tomatoes, vegetable stock, 1/2 the cilantro, balsamic vinegar, sugar, brown sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 30 minutes.
• Transfer the soup in batches to a blender or food processor, and blend until smooth. Return to the pot, and continue cooking until heated through.
• Remove soup from heat, and mix in the cream. Finely chop the remaining cilantro, and mix into the soup to serve.

Steps:

• Combine 2 cups broth, 2 cups cilantro, parsley, cream cheese, and almonds in blender; blend until smooth. Heat 4 1/2 cups broth in large saucepan. Whisk in herb-cheese mixture and marjoram. Simmer 25 minutes to blend flavors. Transfer 1 cup soup and remaining 2 cups cilantro to blender; puree until smooth. Add puree to soup in pan. Season with salt and pepper. Bring soup to simmer, thinning with more broth if desired.

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.
