Directions

Cut off the gnarly top and the bottom of the celery root. Peel and rinse it well to remove any remaining dirt. Halve and cut each half into a ½ inch dice. Set aside.
Sauté the onion in the butter over a medium high heat until they are soft and have browned slightly.
Add the yogurt and fry until all the liquid has evaporated. Add a grind or two of black pepper. Fry for a minute or so more.
Add the potatoes and celery root and cook for a couple of minutes, then add the stock. Bring the soup to a boil, lower heat to a simmer, cover and cook until the vegetables are tender. Purée with an immersion blender or in batches in a blender.
Serve garnished with chopped parsley and a dollop yogurt, if desired.

Chef Tips

If you’re not on chemo, try celeriac French style; raw, coarsely grated, and tossed it with our egg-free Remoulade Dressing.
