1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 teaspoons whole coriander seeds

3 medium yellow onions, diced (about 3 cups)

2 stalks celery, diced (about 2/3rds cup)

1 leek, white and light green parts only, diced (about 1/2 cup)

6 medium cloves garlic, smashed

1 jalapeño pepper, stemmed and roughly chopped

1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled sliced

3 pounds parsnips, peeled and roughly chopped

1 quart homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock or vegetable stock

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Fresh lemon juice, to taste

Whipped cream lightly flavored with ground allspice, for garnish

Cayenne pepper, for garnish

In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add coriander seeds and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add onion, celery, leek, garlic, jalapeño, and ginger, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes.

Add parsnips and stock and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until parsnips are tender, about 20 minutes. Using a blender or immersion blender, purée soup until smooth (it will be thick at this point). Season with salt and pepper. For an extra-silky texture, press soup into a bowl through a fine-mesh strainer. Thin soup to desired consistency with water or additional stock and season once more with salt and pepper. Add lemon juice 1 teaspoon at a time to taste.

Wipe out Dutch oven and return soup to Dutch oven. Reheat over medium heat, stirring, until hot. Serve, spooning dollops of spiced whipped cream and a sprinkle of cayenne on each bowl.
