Method
- Preheat the oven to 190°C, fan forced.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.)
- To serve, top with toasted walnuts, apple pieces, and a dash of oat cream (if using).
