Hearty Celeriac and Potato Soup Recipe

This soup features tender celeriac and potatoes simmered in broth, creating a rich and satisfying dish. The recipe takes about 45 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 medium celeriac, peeled and diced
3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried)
1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)
Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prep the Ingredients: Peel and dice the celeriac and potatoes, chop the onion, and mince the garlic.
Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until fragrant and translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
Cook the Vegetables: Add the diced celeriac and potatoes to the pot. Pour in the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Blend the Soup: Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer it in batches to a blender. For a chunkier texture, leave some vegetable pieces intact.
Add Creaminess: Stir in the heavy cream if using, and heat gently over low heat. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and thyme.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers.
