CREAM OF CELERY SOUP

Steps:

• Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
• Pour 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings into a large pot over medium heat; add the butter. When the butter is melted, add the celery, celery root and shallot. Cook, stirring, until the shallot starts softening, about 5 minutes. Add the thyme, celery seeds, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; stir to coat. Add 6 cups water and the half-and-half; bring to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
• Working in batches, transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth, adding some parsley and tarragon to each batch (or puree in the pot with an immersion blender). Return the soup to the pot and bring to a simmer; thin with water as needed. Season with the lemon juice, salt and pepper. Top each serving with the bacon.

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.

CREAM OF CELERY SOUP

Steps:

• Saute the onions, leeks, and celery: Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a thick-bottomed 4 to 5 quart pot on medium heat. Add the chopped onion, leeks, and 5 cups of the chopped celery. Cook on medium heat for 10 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for a minute more.
• Add the stock, bay leaves, and salt, then simmer: Add the chicken stock and bay leaves to the pot. Taste for salt and add salt. (If you are using unsalted butter and unsalted stock, you will need to add more salt than you expect. If not, maybe just a little salt will be needed.) Increase the heat to bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low and cover to maintain a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes.
• Braise the remaining celery to soften: While the soup is simmering, prepare the extra celery that will be added later to the soup. In a separate small saute pan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter on medium heat. Add 1 1/2 cups diced celery to the butter. Ladle 1/2 cup of the simmering stock from the soup pot into the saute pan. Simmer on low for 5 or 6 minutes to soften the celery. Set aside.
• Puree the soup: Remove the soup pot from the heat, and let cool slightly. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup in a stand blender in batches. Fill the blender no more than a third full at a time (keep your hand on the lid so the hot liquid doesn't explode). Return the pureed soup to the pot.
• Stir in the cream and the braised diced celery: Taste for salt and add more if needed. Serve hot, sprinkled with freshly ground black pepper and garnished with chopped chives or parsley.

VEGAN CREAM OF CELERY SOUP

Steps:

• In a small soup pot, put the water on to boil (just enough to hold your veggies). As soon as your water begins to boil, add the celery and other vegetables. Return to a boil and then lower the heat to a medium simmer until the veggies are cooked soft. Then drain, but keep the water. Give the drained veggies a few good mashes to help thicken the soup.
• While the vegetables are boiling, melt the margarine in a large soup pot. Saute the onions on med-high heat. Once they are soft, add the mushrooms and the garlic. Saute until the mushrooms release their liquid.
• Add the oil to your onion-mushroom mixture (as needed). Slowly build a rue around the onion-mushroom mixture by adding sifted flour slowly. As it thickens, add the water from the boiled celery mixture a ladle at a time, and then thicken some more. Continue until you have a thick enough rue for your liking and you are ready to add the soy milk.
• Add in about half of the soymilk, whisking to distribute the thick saute mixture. When you have enough liquid, add the cooked celery and potatoes. Continue adding celery water and then milk, balancing it out to your tastes.
• Once you have the thickness and amount of soup you want, season your soup. I added garlic salt, white pepper, salt, black pepper and a small bit of Greek oregano. Add the spices slowly, mixing and tasting until the soup is balanced well.
• Let the soup sit at a small simmer for about 15 minutes to combine. Serve with rustic bread.
