Cooking Instructions

45 mins
  1. 1

    In a dry pan, heat the cumin seeds and coriander seeds until they are fragrant and beginning to pop slightly. Grind them up in a pestle and mortar (if you don't have one, skip this step and just use ground cumin and coriander)

  2. 2

    Pour 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil around the sides of a large bowl, add the vegetables, spices and some salt and ground black pepper. Mix up with your hands.

  3. 3

    Spread the vegetables out on a baking sheet and put into a 180C oven for 20-25 minutes, turning them around halfway through

  4. 4

    When the vegetables are a bit browned, get a large soup pan on a medium heat and heat the other tablespoon of oil

  5. 5

    Saute the onion until soft, then add the garluc and ginger and saute for another minute

  6. 6

    Scrape the roasted vegetables into pan and then add the water or stock and turn up the heat to bring it to a boil

  7. 7

    Turn down the heat again and simmer the soup for 12-15 minutes

  8. 8

    Blend the soup, either in the pan with a stick blender, or in a liquidizer. Either way, please be very careful with hot liquid!

  9. 9

    Serve soup with yogurt or creme fraiche spooned into the middle, with a warm roll or a warm naan bread ;)
