Celeriac Soup
This Celeriac Soup combines celeriac and potato with leek, onion, and garlic simmered in vegetable stock then pureed smooth. The result is a comforting, creamy soup with a subtle earthy flavor and velvety texture. Fresh parsley adds a hint of brightness when blended in. It’s an ideal warming starter or light meal, suitable for cooking ahead and serving with a drizzle of olive oil or a spoonful of yogurt or sour cream.
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.
