In a large saucepan over medium heat melt the butter and add the onions and celery. Saute for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. 

Add the water and bullion. Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer. 

Add the carrots, ginger, potato and turmeric. Simmer for 1-2 hours stirring every 15 minutes or so. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Using a hand blender puree all the ingredients to make a smooth soup.

The Soup should have a fairly strong taste from the ginger. Add some parsley, some seeds and a dollop of sour cream for decoration and flavour.

Enjoy.
