Apple Celeriac Potato Soup

This recipe originates from a cool site called Tiny Urban Kitchen. Cat, a huge celeriac fan, has altered the recipe to her tastes. We hope you like it too!

From the farm: celeriac root, potatoes, apple, onion, olive oil, dried thyme, maple syrup

Ingredients

• 1 lg celeriac root peeled and chopped
• 2-3 med potatoes washed and chopped, leave skins on (any kind, I prefer yellow fingerlings)
• 1 lg apple peeled and chopped
• 1 med onion diced
• 1 qt vegetable stock unsalted, or 1 unsalted bouillon cube
• 2 T olive oil
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 2 T maple syrup
• to taste salt and pepper (I use 2 T salt per gallon if I use unsalted stock or bouillon)

Instructions

Sauté onions and thyme in oil over medium heat for a few minutes until the onions are browned and translucent. Add the celeriac and potatoes. Sauté for 8-10 minutes until they are cooked. Add broth, apples, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 30 minutes.

Add maple syrup. Blend with an immersion blender or blend in batches in a blender. Garnish with toppings of your choice and serve!

Try fresh mint as a topping, or shredded cheese of your choice.
