Celeriac Soup
Description
The Celeriac Soup recipe centers on celeriac’s distinctive root flavor complemented by potato, leek, onion, and garlic, gently cooked in olive oil before simmering in vegetable stock. Once tender, the vegetables are pureed to a smooth consistency, creating a thick and creamy soup without cream. Fresh parsley blended in at the end imparts freshness and an herbal note that balances the earthy flavors.
The slow sweating of ingredients before adding stock allows the aroma and sweetness from the vegetables to develop without browning. Simmering until soft ensures full melding of flavors and a naturally silky finish once pureed. The soup can be served garnished simply with a drizzle of olive oil, sour cream, or yogurt for added richness and tang.
As a versatile starter or light meal, this soup is simple to prepare in advance and easily reheated. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste before serving. It pairs well with crusty bread or as part of a multi-course meal featuring light, vegetable-focused dishes.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 celeriac peeled and cut into cubes
- 1 potato peeled and cut into cubes, large
- 1 leek trimmed, washed and roughly sliced
- 1 onion peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 clove garlic sliced
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- parsley handful, washed and roughly chopped, leaves
Instructions
- Place a large pot over a medium low heat and add the olive oil. Add the celeriac, leek, potato, garlic and onion, and season with salt and pepper. Gently sweat the vegetables until the celeriac starts to soften, around 10 minutes.
- Add the vegetable stock and bring the soup up to a boil before reducing to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the celeriac is completely tender. Add the parsley and use an immersion blender to puree until smooth, or alternatively blend in batches in a blender. Return to the heat and check the seasoning and adjust as necessary.
- Serve with a drizzle of olive oil or a dollop of yoghurt or sour cream.
