Celeriac Soup

• Ever wondered what to do with the celeriac in your organic veggie box? Me too. This may not be the tastiest ever soup but it's hearty, filling and uses up the winter root veg as good as any other recipe!

Ingredients

• 50g Butter
• 1 Celeriac, peeled and cubed
• 1 Potato, peeled and cubed
• 1 Leek, trimmed, washed and roughly sliced
• 1 Onion, peeled and roughly chopped
• 1 Garlic clove, sliced
• 1 litre Stock, chicken, vegetable

Method

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).

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
