CELERY ROOT SOUP

Steps:

• In a medium pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, celery root, and potatoes; sauté until beginning to soften, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add salt and garlic powder, and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add 2 cups stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until celery root and potatoes are softened, about 12 to 16 minutes. Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth, adding extra stock as necessary to reach desired consistency. Divide among 6 small bowls and garnish with a pinch of paprika and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve and reheat on the stove top. MAKE IT A MEAL: Divide soup between 2 large bowls and serve with seasoned rolls: Take store-bought pizza dough, shape into dinner rolls, and bake according to package directions. Before baking, brush each roll with olive oil and sprinkle with a mixture of poppy seeds, garlic powder, and kosher salt. Tip - Serve this soup in shooters if you're having a buffet style meal so everyone can have a taste.

• Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Then add leek, carrot, and garlic. Cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes.
• Add celery root, potatoes, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Stir. Pour in vegetable broth (I use 6 cups, but use 5 if you want a thicker consistency).
• Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat (to about medium-low heat) to a simmer. Cover and cook for 25 to 30 minutes or until veggies are tender.
• Remove two cups of soup, place into a heat-safe container, and carefully blend with an immersion blender until smooth. Stir back into the soup.
• Stir in the cashew cream. Note: If you want to use dairy instead of cashew cream, stir in 1/2 cup or so of half-and-half or heavy cream.
• To serve, divide the soup into bowls and garnish (as desired) with any of your favourite soup toppings (croutons are delicious). Enjoy!
