Jerusalem artichoke and celeriac soup with chilli and coconut

This Jerusalem artichoke and celeriac soup is gorgeously creamy with a subtle hint of coconut and a kick from the chilli. This recipe is a great way to use up the veggies from your vegetable box or bag scheme and it's also vegan.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon sunflower oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 thumb-sized piece ginger finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried chilli flakes or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 600 g celeriac peeled and diced medium (prepared weight)
  • 600 g Jerusalem artichoke peeled and diced small (prepared weight)
  • 400 g tin coconut milk
  • 700 ml hot vegetable stock
  • Salt and pepper to taste

To serve

  • Small handful freshly chopped coriander (cilantro) leaves to serve
  • chilli sauce to serve
Metric - US customary

Instructions

  • Heat the sunflower oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat.
  • Add the onion and cook for 10 minutes, stirring often, until soft.
  • Add the ginger, garlic, chilli and coriander, stir well and cook for a further minute or two.
  • Add the diced vegetables. The Jerusalem artichokes take a bit longer to cook than the celeriac so I suggest chopping them a bit smaller. Stir to coat in the spice mix then pour in the coconut milk and the vegetable stock. 
  • Bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for 20-30 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
  • Blend until smooth. I find that a handheld blender is the most convenient way to do this. If using a jug blender you will need to allow the soup to cool first to avoid a dangerous build up of hot steam.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper and reheat if needed.
  • Serve with freshly chopped coriander and chilli sauce if liked.
