Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and
garlic and cook until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes.

Stir in the ground cumin and coriander. Add the jalepeño, carrots,
potatoes, turnips, squash, tomatoes, stock, and the bouquet garni.

Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to simmer and cook, stirring occasionally
until the vegetables are fork tender, 30 to 35 minutes.

Just before serving, add the chopped parsley and cilantro. Taste and adjust
for seasoning.

Notes: A bouquet garni is a bundle of herbs used for flavoring soups and
sauces. Classically, it consists of thyme, parsley, bay leaves, and
peppercorns and is tied together in cheesecloth. (I like a strong bouquet
garni.)
