Recipe: Creamy Celeriac Soup

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium-sized celeriac, peeled and diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk of choice)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh chives or parsley for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until translucent and fragrant.
  2. Add the diced celeriac to the pot and sauté for a few more minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the celeriac is tender, usually around 20-25 minutes.
  4. Remove the pot from heat and let the soup cool slightly. Use an immersion blender or a countertop blender to puree the soup until smooth and creamy.
  5. Return the soup to the stove over low heat. Stir in the almond milk and season with salt and pepper to taste. Heat the soup until warmed through.
  6. Serve the creamy celeriac soup hot, garnished with fresh chives or parsley for added flavor and visual appeal.
