Whip up this warming, fragrant soup in next to no time. After my adventures with stuffed squash I thought I would try out another new vegetable. Celeriac. Looks like a turnip, tastes quite a lot like celery but more subtle and definitely more versatile: boil, mash, bake, fry or turn into a tasty, healthy soup. Pear is a surprisingly delicious fruity accompaniment. This is a slightly modified BBC food recipe, and is suitable for most allergy –afflicted peeps to eat.
Ingredients
• A little oil
• 1 celeriac
• 4 medium pear
• I large onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 3cm piece of ginger
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1litre vegetable stock
• A few fresh chives
A few little cooking steps
1) Heat the oil in a large saucepan, chop the onion, garlic and ginger and lightly sauté
2) Peel and chop the celeriac and add to the pan and fry briefly
3) Peel and chop the pears ...
...and add to the pan with the stock and simmer until the celeriac is nice and soft (around 15-20 minutes, depending on how shall you chop the pieces in the first place)
4) Leave to cool for a few minutes then liquidise the soup in a blender
5) Return briefly to pan, heating gently through
6) Serve garnished with the chopped chives
