ingredients
Steps
Preparation
Peel and dice the celery root. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic.
Sauté Aromatics
In a large pot, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Simmer
Add the diced celery root to the pot, pour in the vegetable broth, season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 15-20 minutes, or until the celery is completely tender.
Blend and Finish
Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to blend the soup until completely smooth. Stir in the heavy cream, mix well, then return to low heat and warm through without boiling. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Serve
Ladle the hot celery cream soup into bowls, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
Extra Tips
► For an even creamier soup, you can use coconut cream instead of heavy cream to make a vegan version.
► Before serving, you can sprinkle the soup with croutons or toasted seeds (e.g., pumpkin seeds).
► If you prefer a more intense celery flavor, add a little celery greens at the end of cooking before blending.
