Celery root soup is lovely as a starter or for lunch, together with good bread. The mixture of apple and bacon looks delicious, while also going perfectly with the soup.
600 g diced celery root
1 finely diced onion
2 tablespoons butter
1 ltr. milk
3 tablespoons vegetable stock
Salt and pepper
1 handful of finely chopped chives
1 sour apple in small cubes
150 g bacon in small cubes
Clean, peel and dice 600 g celery root. Finely chop an onion and fry everything in 2 tablespoons butter. Add milk until just covered and 3 tablespoons vegetable stock. Let it simmer until the vegetables are completely tender.
Run the soup smooth and smooth with a hand mixer. Add more milk, so the soup gets a nice consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Add a handful of finely chopped chives before serving.
Cut the apple and bacon into small cubes, fry the bacon until crispy in a frying pan and add the apple pieces towards the end. Divide the soup into deep plates, top with the apple and bacon mixture and garnish with chives.
Serve celery root soup with good bread, e.g. this delicious walnut bread, for which you can find the recipe HERE .
