Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Put the carrots and swede on a large baking tray with ½ tbsp oil, the ground coriander and turmeric. Toss to coat, then roast for 20 mins, turning halfway.

  2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Fry the onion and celery for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the ginger and 2 of the crushed garlic cloves; fry for 1 min.

  3. Transfer the carrots and swede to the pan and pour in the stock. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 mins until the veg is tender.

  4. Use a stick blender to blitz until smooth, then season to taste; keep warm over a low heat.

  5. For the chimichurri, mix the coriander, parsley, chilli and remaining garlic with the vinegar and remaining oil.

  6. Divide the soup between between bowls and top top each with 1 tbsp chimichurri.
