Best Celery Root And Leek Soup With Sage Oil Recipes

CELERY ROOT SOUP (WITH OTHER ROOT VEGGIES)

Steps:

• Place cashews in a small pot with about 2 cups of water and bring to a simmer. Reduce to a low-medium simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes to soften cashews. Drain and rinse.
• Place cashews, nutritional yeast, and vegetable broth in a high-powered blender.
• Cover and blend until smooth and not grainy. Time may vary depending on how powerful your blender is. I don't add any salt, but you could if you prefer. Set aside.Note: If you want things thicker, use less broth.
• Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Then add leek, carrot, and garlic. Cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes.
• Add celery root, potatoes, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Stir. Pour in vegetable broth (I use 6 cups, but use 5 if you want a thicker consistency).
• Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat (to about medium-low heat) to a simmer. Cover and cook for 25 to 30 minutes or until veggies are tender.
• Remove two cups of soup, place into a heat-safe container, and carefully blend with an immersion blender until smooth. Stir back into the soup.
• Stir in the cashew cream. Note: If you want to use dairy instead of cashew cream, stir in 1/2 cup or so of half-and-half or heavy cream.
• To serve, divide the soup into bowls and garnish (as desired) with any of your favourite soup toppings (croutons are delicious). Enjoy!

Add garlic, celery salt and cayenne pepper and stir 1 minute. Add vermouth and boil until most of liquid evaporates, about 8 minutes. Add stock. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are very tender, about 15 minutes. Puree soup in blender in batches until smooth. Return to saucepan. Add cream.

CREAMY CELERY ROOT SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the celery and onion and cook until they begin to wilt, about 4 minutes. Add the celery root and toss to coat in the oil. Add the thyme and season with 1 teaspoon salt and a generous grinding of black pepper. Cook, stirring, until the celery root beings to wilt, about 4 minutes.
• Add the chicken broth, bay leaf and 2 cups water. Bring to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Add the oat milk and simmer to incorporate, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove the bay leaf and blend the soup in a blender, in batches, until silky and smooth. Return the soup to the pot to heat through. Season with salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve in bowls with a drizzle of olive oil and some chopped chives.

CELERY-LEEK SOUP WITH POTATO AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat the 1/4 cup oil over medium. Add the leeks and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until meltingly tender, about 7 minutes.
• Add the celery, potato, bay leaves and thyme, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the wine to deglaze, then cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is almost dry, about 3 minutes.
• Add the stock and bring to boil over high. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until all the vegetables are fully tender and soft, about 20 minutes. Discard the bay leaves, then stir in 1 cup parsley leaves.
• Working in two or three batches, transfer the soup to a blender and purée until smooth. (It's almost always beneficial to let the soup blend for another minute or two past what seems necessary to emulsify as much as possible.) Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Transfer to bowls. Drizzle with olive oil; garnish with reserved celery leaves and parsley, and sprinkle with pepper. Serve with a dollop of crème fraîche or a drizzle of heavy cream.
