Easy Celeriac Soup

Celeriac soup rocks....a lot.

Mellow and earthy in flavour and perfectly Autumnal, it is super easy and healthy. A steaming bowl full of this on an Autumn day and you might as well be wearing an Aran jumper.

. Celeriac is a vegetable that I have come to rather late in life and I am full of foodie regret. It is savoury in an mushroom/celery kind of a way, I can't get enough......

So this recipe for celeriac soup is simplicity itself. I simply roast it all together and blitz. Swirl some cream in (optional) and butter a bun or as my children say, some of my best bread rolls ever and all is good with the world, even if isn't.

Celeriac Soup Recipe

This is a soup of autumn comfort and full of roasted earthy goodness. With only a few ingredients you are a mere hour away from a big bellied cuddle in a bowl.

Ingredients

• 1 standard celeriac about 800-1000 grams
• 1 medium white onion
• 2 tbsps garlic oil
• 500 mls chicken/veg stock
• 1 tsp salt

Method

• Peel and cut a standard celeriac into 5 cm or so chunks and do the same with a medium white spanish onion. I find it easier to peel the celeriac with a sharp knife carefully minding fingers of course, rather than using a vegetable peeler.
• Smoosh them in a large roasting tray with a couple of tbsp of garlic oil and a tsp of fine sea salt.

• Pour in some chicken or vegetable stock and roast for an hour covered in silver foil at 200 C/400 F/Gas Mark 6

• All that remains is to carefully remove from the oven and blitz to a puree. I have a food processor so I do it in there but you could decant to a large saucepan and use a hand held blender.

• I usually find I need to add 250 mls of double strength stock ( I make 250 mls stock using the stock ingredients for 500 mls) to get the right thickness and I do like to add some double cream, about 4 tbsps.
• This is entirely optional.
• You also need to carefully season.

Tips For Celeriac Soup

• Only use one onion as the celeriac is a mellow flavour and easily lost.
• Store covered in the fridge.
• Add to stews and pasta for sneaky veg additions.
• You can freeze in a stout tupperware container for up to a month. Defrost in the fridge.
• Add 4 tbsps cream for added luxury.
• To make this dairy free omit the cream and check that your stock is dairy free.
• Season carefully.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with Cheese Scones, Cheese and Onion Scones or Savoury Muffins as sides.
