Cream Of Celery And Celery Root Soup Recipes

CELERY ROOT SOUP {SOPA DE APIO NABO}

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in large saucepan and add the onions, garlic, cumin and salt to make a quick refrito or sofrito (sautéed onions/garlic/spices) as the base for this soup, cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes.
• Add the chopped celery roots and potatoes; cook them for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid burning them.
• Add the vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce the temperature and simmer until the potatoes and celery root are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Let the soup cool down a little and then blend the celery root and potato to obtain a smooth puree.
• Reheat the soup until warm and add the chopped dill, serve with the topping on the side.

Steps:

• Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, about 4 minutes. Add the celery, celery root and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the celery is tender, about 7 minutes.
• Add the bay leaf, chicken broth and 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook until the celery root is very soft, about 20 minutes. Discard the bay leaf. Add the heavy cream and return to a simmer, then remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
• Working in batches, transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth, adding some herbs to each batch; return to the pot and reheat if needed. Stir in the celery salt and serve with toppings.
