Directions:

Combine half the celery root, the carrots, onions and garlic in the food processor and pulse until chopped very small.

Heat olive oil in a large soup pot. Add chopped vegetables and cook over medium high heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently.

Add tomato paste, salt, turmeric, cumin, coriander and pepper and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.
