Celeriac Soup – Soup Maker Recipe

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Celeriac soup is a delicious winter warming soup. This particular recipe is garnished with delicious crisp chorizo and chorizo oil croutons.

This makes for a very creamy textured soup which is definitely very hearty. There are just a few simple ingredients that make this celeriac soup. Made in the soup maker, it’s incredibly easy with very little prep.

Celeriac is also known as celery root, with an earthy, nutty flavour. I hate celery but really enjoyed this delicious celeriac soup. It’s a particularly cheap root vegetable too and with staple ingredients you’d already have in your cupboard, this is a very budget friendly recipe.

Celeriac Soup

As with all my other soup maker recipes. This takes about 30 minutes to make including preparation. Using the smooth setting it produces a thick and creamy soup. It uses no extra cream.

There was also no pre-sautéing or roasting which is even better!

Ingredients

• Celeriac – approx 500g
• Large shallot
• 210g tin of chickpeas
• Garlic clove (or my fave 0.5tsp lazy garlic)
• Vegetable stock cube
• Water
• Salt and pepper

For the garnish

This is optional but chorizo and celeriac make a handsome couple. You could use smoked bacon or pancetta or even none at all and just have some fried croutons to keep it vegetarian friendly.

• Chorizo, pancetta or smoked bacon lardons
• White bread (or whatever bread you fancy for your croutons!)

Method

1. Top and tail the celeriac, trim off the skin and chop into cubes
2. Finely slice the shallot
3. Add all ingredients including the chickpeas (and brine) into the soup maker.
4. Fill to at least the minimum fill line of the maker with boiling water. Note, the less water you put in the thicker this soup will be and it is quite a thick soup!
5. Set your maker to smooth
6. Whilst your soup maker does it’s thing. Lightly fry the chorizo until crispy and put aside.
7. Add more oil to the pan with all the chorizo juices and fry your cut bread until nice and crispy.
8. Serve your soup with the croutons and chorizo on top. Season to taste.

Let me know what you think!

I have to admit this was a total throw together soup. I had impulse purchased a celeriac which the first and only time I had ever tried it previously, I hadn’t liked it. It was a huge gamble! Using what I had in my cupboard I threw together and was surprised by how delicious it turned out.

I hope you feel the same!

Peace out!
