Best Celeriac Soup With Blue Cheese Sprinkles Recipes

CREAMY CELERY AND BLUE CHEESE SOUP

Steps:

• In a soup pot over medium heat, melt butter. Add celery, onion, garlic and potato and saute for 5 - 7 minutes.
• Add flour and stir constantly for 1 minute.
• Slowly add stock, wine, white pepper and desired amount of cayenne. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 15 - 20 minutes (stirring often), or until veggies are very tender.
• Stir in cream and blue cheese. Heat through but do not allow to boil. Add salt, if needed.
• Serve.

CELERIAC SOUP

Steps:

• Place a large pot over a medium low heat and add the olive oil. Add the celeriac, leek, potato, garlic and onion, and season with salt and pepper. Gently sweat the vegetables until the celeriac starts to soften, around 10 minutes.
• Add the vegetable stock and bring the soup up to a boil before reducing to a simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes or until the celeriac is completely tender. Add the parsley and use an immersion blender to puree until smooth, or alternatively blend in batches in a blender. Return to the heat and check the seasoning and adjust as necessary.
• Serve with a drizzle of olive oil or a dollop of yoghurt or sour cream.

CHUNKY CHEDDAR & CELERIAC SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pan, melt the tbsp of butter. Add the onions and cook for 5 mins until softened, but not coloured. Add the potato, celeriac, the litre of stock, 4 sage leaves and 2 strips of lemon peel. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for about 30 mins, until the celeriac is tender and the potato is collapsing. Remove and discard the lemon zest and sage leaves. Stir so the potato thickens the soup a little. (At this point you can cool and keep covered in the fridge for up to two days or freeze for up to 3 months.)
• When you're ready to eat, reheat the soup to just simmering. Stir in the 200g of cheese. Serve with crisp sage leaves for a special touch.

CELERIAC, PANCETTA & THYME SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan. Sizzle the pancetta for about 3 mins on each side until crisp, then remove to a plate and set aside. Melt the butter in the same pan, add the onion, bay leaf and thyme stalks, and cook for 10 mins until just starting to turn golden. Add the celeriac and cook for 2 mins more.
• Pour over the stock and simmer for 10 mins until the celeriac is soft. Stir in the cream and bring back to the boil. Fish out the bay and thyme stalks, then purée the soup until smooth. Stir through half the thyme leaves and ladle the soup into bowls. Serve topped with the crispy pancetta, the remaining thyme leaves and a drizzle of olive oil.
