Instructions

  1. Warm neutral oil in a medium-sized pot over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. Add onion, garlic, coriander seed, parsnip, ginger, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion and parsnip are lightly caramelized at the edges.

  3. Pour in white wine and cook 2–3 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly.

  4. Stir in cauliflower florets, sugar, and stock.

  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for about 30 minutes, or until parsnips and cauliflower are completely tender.

  6. Use Hand Blender to purée the soup until smooth, or leave slightly chunky if preferred.

  7. Taste and adjust with more salt, sugar, or white pepper as needed.

  8. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh dill. A bowl so good, you’ll be cauli-ng for seconds!
