A thick and creamy Autumnal Celeriac Soup with broccoli, fennel, garlic and leek. Finish it off with a squeeze of lemon juice and a dollop or two of coconut yoghurt. On the table within 30 minutes.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Ceramic<\/p>\n

Poor old celeriac – he’s no oil painting, and often overlooked in the produce department. But if you get past that rough exterior, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.<\/p>\n

Celeriac is a variety of celery cultivated for its bulbous root. The flesh is creamy white and firm, and soft and fluffy when cooked. It tastes mildly sweet and earthy. I love them roasted with fresh herbs, puréed, or as part of a big nourishing bowl of soup.<\/p>\n

They’re in season now – though you can easily substitute them for parsnip and\/or potatoes.<\/p>\n

\"Ingredients<\/p>\n

Although celeriac is the hero of this recipe, I’ve also used shallots, garlic (lots), fennel, leek and broccoli. Nutritional yeast gives the soup some umami flavour, and bay leaves are added to the pot while it cooks.<\/p>\n

To serve, a squeeze of lemon juice and a generous dollop of coconut yoghurt is all that is needed, and perhaps a handful of toasted seeds if you need a bit of crunch.<\/p>\n
