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!

CELERY ROOT SOUP

Steps:

• In a medium pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, celery root, and potatoes; sauté until beginning to soften, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add salt and garlic powder, and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add 2 cups stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until celery root and potatoes are softened, about 12 to 16 minutes. Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth, adding extra stock as necessary to reach desired consistency. Divide among 6 small bowls and garnish with a pinch of paprika and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve and reheat on the stove top. MAKE IT A MEAL: Divide soup between 2 large bowls and serve with seasoned rolls: Take store-bought pizza dough, shape into dinner rolls, and bake according to package directions. Before baking, brush each roll with olive oil and sprinkle with a mixture of poppy seeds, garlic powder, and kosher salt. Tip - Serve this soup in shooters if you're having a buffet style meal so everyone can have a taste.

CELERY ROOT SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the leeks and cook for about five minutes, stirring frequently. Add the garlic cloves and season with salt, and continue to cook until the leeks and garlic are soft and translucent. If the leeks begins to stick and brown too much on the bottom, add a pat of butter or pour of olive oil.
• Add the cubed celery root and water. Increase the heat to high, bring to a boil, then reduce to a strong simmer. Add the bay leaf and thyme, if using, and cook with a lid ajar on top until the celery root pieces are soft and easily pierced with a paring knife, about 30 to 45 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and add white pepper and chili powder, pluck out the herbs, if you used them, then purée the mixture using an immersion blender, or let the soup cool to room temperature and whiz in a standard blender until smooth. (Do not puree hot soup in a blender as it can create a vortex and blow off the lid, which is dangerous.) Taste the soup, and season with additional salt and pepper if desired. If the soup is too thick, it can be thinned with additional water.
