Cook and Prep Time: 60 minutes

Serves: 6

You Need

• 5-6 stalks Celery, chopped
• 5-6 cups Vegetable Stock OR Water (add more if needed)
• 1 Yellow Onion, chopped

• 1 tbsp. Cinnamon
• 1 tbsp. Cloves

DIRECTIONS

1. Rinse and chop the produce accordingly.
2. Set a large pot to medium heat.  Once hot, add olive oil.  Then, add garlic, onion, and ginger.  Cook for 4-5 minutes, until onion has softened, stirring occasionally to avoid burning.
3. Add carrots and celery, and stir to combine.  Cook until slightly softened, 4-5 minutes more.
4. Add turnips, sweet potatoes, and cannellini beans.  Toss to combine and cook for 2-3 minutes. 
5. Add vegetable stock.  Add enough liquid to cover all the vegetables. 
6. Add spices and bring mixture to a boil.  Once boiling, cover and reduce to a simmer.  Cook until all vegetables can be cut with a fork, 25-30 minutes.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Remove soup from heat.  With an immersion blender, blend the soup thoroughly.  Alternatively, you can add portions of the soup to a blender, and pulse until smooth.
8. Plate soup.  Garnish with scallion greens, sesame oil, or sesame seeds.  Enjoy!
