PURéE OF CELERY ROOT SOUP
This is one of those dishes that illustrates how recipes can be tweaked without any noticeable effect. It called for milk; I had skim milk. It wanted butter for sautéing; I used olive oil.

Steps:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, heat 3 tablespoons oil and add leek, onion, celery and garlic. Sauté until softened but not browned, about 4 minutes.
- Add celery root and stock, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until celery root is tender when pierced with a knife, about 20 minutes.
- Using a blender and working in batches, purée soup until smooth. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil and milk as needed to enrich soup. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, soup may be cooled, covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before serving. Reheat gently just until steaming.
- To serve, divide soup among four bowls. Garnish with chervil or tarragon, and serve hot.

[email protected]This soup is a great way to use up leftover celery root. It's simple to make and has a lovely, creamy texture. I added a bit of grated Parmesan cheese at the end for extra flavor.

[email protected]Meh. The soup was bland and the celery root was too overpowering. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out well. Maybe I'll try a different recipe next time.

[email protected]Delicious and nutritious! The soup was surprisingly easy to make, and the celery root gave it a unique and delightful flavor. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was a perfect meal. Will definitely be making this again.
