Autumnal through and through, plus loaded with turmeric which is super anti-inflammatory, every bite gives a truly exotic flavour. It also looks gorgeous in a bowl so it’s a great choice if you are having people over for dinner.

Melt the coconut oil in a large pot, and add the onion, garlic, carrot, potatoes and squash. Cook until the vegetables begin to lightly brown.

Add the turmeric and season with salt and pepper.

Pour in enough of the vegetable stock to cover the vegetables. Bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and simmer for 40 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.

Transfer the soup to a blender or use a hand blender and blend until smooth (be careful – it’s hot). Then return soup to the pot, and mix in any remaining stock to achieve the consistency you want.

Season with additional salt and pepper if you feel necessary and top with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a dollop of Greek yoghurt or toasted pumpkin seeds.
