This smooth and creamy soup uses the often forgotten about root veggie celeriac (celery root). It has the texture of a potato, but with a celery-like flavor. Roasting the veggies brings out their natural sweetness. Use vegetable broth instead of chicken, for a vegetarian alternative.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds celeriac (celery root), peeled and cubed
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and cubed
- 1 medium onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 5 cups chicken broth, divided
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 6 teaspoons truffle oil, or to taste
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Combine celeriac, carrots, onion, and garlic in a large bowl. Sprinkle with Herbes de Provence, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and stir to combine evenly. Spread out vegetables on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Roast vegetables in the preheated oven until cooked through, stirring every 19 to 15 minutes, about 40 minutes total.
Step 4
Place roasted vegetables into a high-powered blender. Add 4 cups chicken broth and blend on high speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
Step 5
Pour mixture into a large saucepan over medium heat. Add remaining chicken broth and heat, stirring, until warmed through. Stir in heavy cream. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with a light drizzle of truffle oil and a sprinkling of green onions.
Cook’s Tip:
For a thinner soup, use an extra cup of chicken broth.
