Cauliflower and Celeriac Soup
This celeriac and cauliflower soup recipe was a big hit in our February retreats. These two seasonal vegetables are a lovely combination, enhanced with the simple addition of garlic and herbs. While celariac has celery-like, earthy notes, cauliflower is milder with a cabbage taste, together their sweeter nuttier flavours create a creamy richness in this hearty soup perfect for those colder days.
Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower
- 1 celeriac
- 2 white onions
- Vegetable stock – Bouillon personal recommendation
- 4 thyme sprigs
- 3 garlic cloves and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp French mustard – optional
Method
Trim the cauliflower and peal the celeriac – roughly chop both into equal sizes
Slice the onions and peal the garlic
In a large pan heat some oil, first add the onions and sweat for 5 minutes until the begin to colour, than add the cauliflower and celeriac, fry for a further 5 minutes adding the garlic, mustard and thyme half way through.
Now prepare you stock by adding approx 1 liter or until everything is covered in liquid, simmer for about 25 minutes until the vegetable are completely soft. Transfer to a food blender or use a stick blender too get a rich and creamy texture.
If the mixture is too thick then add oat/soya milk to thin, season to taste and enjoy
Chefs top tip – drizzle wi
th a parsley oil and grated fresh nutmeg and serve with warm garlic sourdough
