Celery Root Soup

Celery root is often overlooked and under appreciated when we see it at the produce department of our local supermarkets, it has a great fragrant flavor and a rich texture.  It is very easy to prepare.  This is a great new discovery for me, great comfort food!

Celery Root Soup

1             Large head of Celery root

1/2         Carton organic chicken broth      

Salt and pepper

1             Tablespoon butter

2             Tablespoons cream  (Optional)

Instructions:

Cut the celery in quarters, then peel the skin off the celery root.  Chop into small pieces and sauté with butter until light golden brown.  Add the chicken broth and cook for about 15 minutes until tender.  Use a hand blender to cream the soup.   You can add more chicken soup if you find that the soup has a puree consistency.   If you wish you can add the cream at the end.  However, the soup does taste great on its own.   Serve hot or cold.
