Celeriac Soup
Recipe video above. Celeriac is an unsung hero of the vegetable world! It makes a wonderful creamy Celeriac Soup that's an elegant near pure-white colour, and happens to be low carb. It's thick, creamy and comforting. Texture like potato but better flavour - tastes mildly like celery but with earthy, nutty undertones.Make it as a sophisticated first course for a dinner party, or just a cosy dinner for midweek.This easily makes enough soup for 5 people as a meal (with some crusty bread on the side!)

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Spice and herb sachet: Bundle the bay leaf, thyme, black peppercorns and coriander seeds loosely in a small piece of cheesecloth to create a sachet. Tie with cooking twine to secure.
bay leaf (, fresh)1
2
Cook onion and leek: Melt butter in large pot over medium-low heat. Add onion, leek, celery and garlic. Cook for ⏱️ 10 minutes until onion is soft but not golden. Don't rush this part – this creates an important flavour base so we can make this soup using water not stock.
onion (, diced (brown or yellow))1leek (white part only) (, diced into 1cm / ½" cubes (~ 3/4 cup, Note 1))1/2
3
Cook celeriac and potato: Add celeriac and potato. Cook for ⏱️ 10 minutes, stirring regularly, until the outside of the celeriac and potato starts to soften. Be careful to not colour the celeriac - we're going for a white soup here!
4
Simmer ⏱️ 25 minutes: Add salt, pepper, Spice and Herb Sachet, and water. Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer. Simmer for ⏱️ 25 minutes (no lid) until celeriac is very soft.
5
Cream: Add cream, simmer for another ⏱️ 3 minutes.
cream (, full fat (pure, thickened or heavy, Note 4))1 cup

Blitz: Remove Sachet, then blitz until fully smooth using your method of choice: Stick blender (~ ⏱️ 3 mins), or cool slightly and do in a blender in batches (Note 5)
7
Adjust seasoning: Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
8
Serving: Ladle into bowls. Sprinkle with croutons and chives, drizzle with olive oil. Serve with crusty bread for dunking!
