# Cooking Steps:
01 - Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until softened and translucent.
02 - Add minced garlic and chopped red chilli to the pan. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
03 - Stir in chopped carrots, diced celeriac, and diced potato. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow flavors to develop.
04 - Add ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to coat all vegetables evenly with the spices.
05 - Pour in vegetable stock and bring to a rolling boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes until all vegetables are completely tender.
06 - Remove pan from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until completely smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer soup in batches to a blender and puree until smooth.
07 - Season with salt to taste. If soup is too thick, add hot water or additional stock incrementally to achieve desired consistency.
08 - Ladle soup into serving bowls. Top with fresh coriander leaves, a swirl of vegan yogurt or coconut cream, and additional chilli slices if desired.
