Avocado oil has a higher smoke point, while canola oil is often less expensive.

Dice one red onion and fry it with some olive oil until nice and soft.

Slice three celery sticks and roughly chop three to four carrots before adding them into the mix.

Stir through and leave on medium heat for about one to two minutes.

Chop up one small butternut squash, two sweet potatoes, and two large parsnips, leaving them quite chunky.

Add the chopped vegetables into the pan and give it a good stir.

Season the soup with coriander, pepper, salt, and nutmeg.

Pour in 500 milliliters of vegetable stock, mix it well, and leave to simmer for 20 minutes until all the vegetables are fully cooked.

Blend the soup using a KitchenAid Bowl and blender until smooth, adding extra vegetable stock if the mixture looks too thick to reach desired consistency.

Serve warm with a drizzle of cream and garnish with coriander.
