Spiced Celeriac Soup
Serves 4
Celeriac is a delicious root vegetable that is very under-rated. It has a great flavour and
when paired with these subtle spices, makes a great combination.
• 2 tsp cumin seeds
• 50g butter
• 1 large onion, peeled and chopped
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• Large pinch of crushed chilli flakes
• 2 potatoes approx 400g,
peeled and finely diced

METHOD
1. Dry fry the cumin seeds until fragrant, then remove from the heat and set aside.
Add the butter to a medium sized saucepan and melt over a medium high heat.
2. Add the onion and fry until softened but not brown. Add half the cumin seeds keeping
the remainder to garnish. Add the ground coriander and the chilli flakes and mix well.
