Roasted celeriac soup

Adamantia Velonis

Celeriac is a versatile winter root vegetable that’s in season during July and August in Australia. It comes into its own in this comforting soup, which involves pre-roasting it with a fragrant combination of garlic and herbs.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C, fan forced.
  2. First, prepare the roasted celeriac. Combine the celeriac and garlic cloves in a bowl with the olive oil and dry herbs. Transfer to a baking tray and bake for 30 minutes. Once done, set aside until ready to use.
  3. Next, prepare the soup. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over a medium heat. Add the leek, onion, and apple, then cook until soft and translucent.
  4. Add to the pot the roasted celeriac and garlic along with the bay leaves, then cover with the vegetable stock. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for 30 minutes.
  5. Take the pot off the heat and remove the bay leaves with a slotted spoon. Blend the soup with a stick blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (If the soup is a bit too thick, you can add a little almond or oat milk.)
  6. To serve, top with toasted walnuts, apple pieces, and a dash of oat cream (if using).
