    Method

    • step 1

      Melt the butter in a large, heavy-based pot over a medium-low heat. Add the celeriac, leek, potato, garlic and onion, season generously, and gently sweat the vegetables until they're all starting to soften (this will take about 10 minutes).
    • step 2

      Add the stock, bring the soup up to a boil, turn down the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the celeriac is completely tender. Liquidise until smooth, return to the pan and reheat over a medium flame. Just before serving, check the soup for seasoning and serve.

    I’ve made celeriac soup by this recipe several times now. Tastes delicious and freezes well. A firm, family favourite.

    Lovely recipe, simple but creamy and delicious. Swirl of truffle oil to serve.. Yum!

    Really great recipe. I omitted the leeks as I’m not a huge fan of them and it was still lovely! Very creamy in taste with none of the calories of cream. Even my kids loved this soup!

    A very good soup, Kenza. Nice to see celeriac getting top billing for once. The leeks are a good idea too. Thanks
