Celery Soup Ingredients

This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for cream of celery root soup, what each ingredient does in the recipe, and substitution options. See recipe card below for measurements.

• olive oil – For stir-frying. Avocado oil can also be used. Butter will work too if you don’t turn the heat too high.
• garlic – Use fresh garlic cloves for best flavor or canned garlic For convenience.
• onion – I used white onions, but you can also use yellow onions. Chopped chives are also a delicious option.
• flying leaves – This addition imparts a classic soup flavor.
• celery root – Look for celery root that is about 4-5 inches in diameter without any visible bruises or soft spots. You’ll be peeling, so don’t worry about the rough exterior. Cut into one-inch cubes with a sharp knife.
• cauliflower florets – This addition gives the consistency of celery root and potato soup – no potatoes!
• chicken soup – I like to use organic chicken stock, but feel free to use your favorite type and brand or vegetable stock.Use a low-sodium broth if you want a lower sodium content, and if you want a stronger flavor, try bone broth.
• sea ​​salt and black pepper
• heavy cream – This helps provide a creamy luxurious texture. If you want a dairy-free option, you can use full-fat coconut milk instead.
• toppings – These toppings are optional but recommended: cheddar cheese, cooked baconscallions (or fresh herbs such as fresh parsley, thyme sprigs, or chives), and freshly cracked black pepper.
