Viewed: 6 - Published at: a year agoIngredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 cups peeled and cubed celery root (1 pound)
- 3 cups vertically sliced sweet onion (1 pound)
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
- 8 cloves garlic, peeled, trimmed, halved, and germ removed
- 4 cups unsalted chicken stock
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 (2-inch) strip lemon rind
- 1 (1-ounce) slice, cubed French bread, stale or oven-dried
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons creme fraiche or sour cream
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
Method
- Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add celery root, onion, thyme, and garlic. Cover and cook 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add stock, water, salt, and rind. Bring to a simmer; cover and cook at low 20 minutes or until very tender. Discard rind.
- Add bread. Stir with a wooden spoon, scraping bottom of pan.
- Pour half of soup in a blender. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure lid on blender. Drape a clean towel over opening in lid (to avoid splatters). Blend until smooth; pour into a large bowl. Repeat with remaining soup. Return pureed soup to pan.
- Stir in buttermilk; heat over medium-high heat until very hot (do not boil). Top soup with creme fraiche and chives.
- Variation: Creamy Garlic Soup: Sub 4 cups garlic cloves for celery root (omit the 8 cloves). Decrease onion to 2 cups; add 1 cup cubed peeled potato. Increase salt to 3/4 teaspoon. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons sherry at end; omit creme fraiche and chives. Top with a mixture of 1/3 cup toasted breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons grated pecorino Romano, 1 tablespoon parsley, and 2 teaspoons lemon rind.
