Instructions

Peel and chop the carrots, potatoes, and celeriac into evenly sized pieces. Slice the spring onions and chop the apple.
Trim the lemongrass and lightly crush it with the side of a knife to release its aroma.
Heat the ghee in a large pot over medium heat. Add the spring onions and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.
Add the carrots, potatoes, celeriac, apple, and curry powder. Stir well and cook for 2–3 minutes.
Add the lemongrass and pour in enough water to just cover the vegetables. Bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 20–25 minutes, until all the vegetables are very tender.
Remove the lemongrass. Blend the soup with an immersion blender until completely smooth.
Stir in the coconut milk and season with salt and cayenne pepper to taste.
Warm gently for another 2–3 minutes without allowing the soup to boil.
Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Serve warm.

Notes

Adjust the cayenne pepper according to your preferred level of heat.
Use a naturally sweet apple for a balanced flavor, or choose a more tart variety for extra brightness.
If the soup is too thick, add a little warm water or vegetable broth.
For a vegan version, replace the ghee with coconut oil or another plant-based cooking oil.
