Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
1 stalk chopped celery
2 large kohlrabi bulbs, peeled and cubed
1 bay leaf
2 ½ cups water
2 ½ cups milk
2 tablespoons MSG-free chicken bouillon granules
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Heat oil in a pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until just soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and celery and cook another 2 minutes. Stir in kohlrabi and bay leaf and cook for 4 minutes. Slowly add water and milk and stir to combine. Mix in chicken bouillon granules.
Bring soup to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent milk from frothing too much. Reduce heat and partially cover pot. Simmer until kohlrabi is very soft, about 30 minutes. Remove soup from heat; remove and discard bay leaf.
Fill blender halfway with soup. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Pour into a pot. Repeat with remaining soup. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Return soup to stove and heat until hot.
