Swede is a mildly peppery root vegetable that carries spice well, so we've infused this soup with garam masala and topped it off with a cooling coriander-based dressing.



Smooth, pureed soups - no matter how delicious - run the risk of tasting monotonous by the time you reach the end of your serving, so be generous with the dressing and sesame seeds and stir to allow it to melt into the soup as you eat it. This ensures each bite is packed with flavour.
