CELERY ROOT SOUP WITH CROUTONS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a simmer, add celery root pieces, and simmer until soft, about 30 minutes. Drain.

• Meanwhile, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and toast bread cubes until dry and lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley and croutons.

ROASTED PARSLEY ROOT

Steps:

• Bring half of the lemon juice and 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add beans and simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from liquid with a slotted spoon; set aside. Add parsley root to liquid and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Add olive oil to skillet and heat over medium heat. Add garlic, thyme, and parsley root; cook, stirring, until garlic is golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in maple syrup, butter, remaining lemon juice, and salt; cook for 2 minutes. Stir in soy sauce, parsley, mint, beans, and toasted pine nuts. Toss to combine and cook until just heated through.

ONION SOUP WITH CHEESE & HERB TOASTS

Steps:

• Heat the butter and oil in a large pan and gently cook the onion and garlic until very soft and golden. Increase heat slightly and cook until brown - about 20-40 mins in total.
• Stir in the flour for 2 mins, then stir in the beer and bring to a simmer for a few mins. Add the stock, bring back to a simmer, then season with salt and pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Keep warm.
• Heat the grill and toast the bread on both sides. Meanwhile, mix the grated cheese with the herbs. Sprinkle a little on each slice and grill to melt. Ladle soup into bowls and float toasts on top.

CHUNKY ROOT VEGETABLE SOUP WITH CHEESY PESTO TOASTS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large heavy-based saucepan. Add the shallots and cook for 5 mins until soft, then add the garlic and cook for 1 min more. Pour in the wine and simmer until reduced, then add the vegetables and cook for 2-3 mins.
• Pour in the stock, bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 mins until the vegetables are soft. Meanwhile, to make the pesto, mix all the ingredients together with enough olive oil to make a thickish paste. Season.
• To make the toasts, put the grated cheese in a bowl and mix together with 2-3 tsp of the pesto. Heat grill. Put the ciabatta slices under the grill and toast on both sides. Remove, top with the herby cheese mixture, then grill until melted.
• Season the soup well and serve with the cheesy pesto toasts and remaining pesto, for drizzling.

PARSLEY-ROOT SOUP WITH CRABMEAT TOASTS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a Dutch oven or medium heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add parsley root and leeks; cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks are just tender, about 7 minutes. Add potatoes, stock, and 1 cup water; season with salt. Raise heat to medium-high; cook until parsley root is tender, about 15 minutes.
• Let cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Working in batches (so the blender is never more than halfway full), puree soup until completely smooth.
• Return soup to pot; add milk. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot (do not let simmer), about 7 minutes. If desired, add more milk for a thinner consistency.
• Serve soup with Crabmeat Toasts.
