4 stalks celery, roughly chopped
6 cloves garlic, smashed
1 (3-inch) piece fresh turmeric root, thinly sliced (or 2 tsp ground turmeric)
1 (3-inch) piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced
1 tsp black peppercorns

Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent, about 8–10 minutes.
2
Add the garlic, turmeric, ginger, black peppercorns, cinnamon, cumin, and cayenne (if using) and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1–2 minutes. Watch closely so the spices and garlic do not scorch.
