Nitko's Kohlrabi Cream Soup image

This soup was an experiment, it turned out excellent. My intention was to use kohlrabi differently (in Croatia we use it only for two meals: stew and another stew), so I tried to make a soup. This is how it goes:

Time 50m

Yield 4 portions, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

100 g onions (baby spring onions)
20 g celery (green sprigs)
1 teaspoon olive oil
20 g butter
400 g kohlrabi
1 garlic clove
2 tablespoons semolina
100 g heavy cream
15 g pancetta
2 teaspoons parsley
10 g salt
2 g pepper (white)

Steps:

  • Cut spring onions and kohlrabi and sauté it in mixture of olive oil and butter.
  • When it gets soft add celery, garlic, salt, pepper and water (1 liter+) and cook 20-30 minutes on easy fire.
  • When the vegetable is soft take blender or stick blender to make creamy mixture. Add semolina into soup.
  • In the meantime cut pancetta into very thin pieces and fry them until crunchy. Put the pancetta onto a paper towel to soak fat.
  • Cook blended soup for 10-15 minutes more. Before serving add heavy cream and parsley. Serve with croutons.
