See that happy smiling soup face? Total accident but I rather like it! That is a swirl of spicy chilli oil which is just what I need on cold to the bones wintery days.

Those hands belong to my daughter, she nicks my gloves so I make her be my hand model from time to time and she gets to hold a mug of hot soup!

Cooking With Celeriac

I avoided celeriac for quite some time. It was the vegetable which I bypassed on supermarket shelves, far too knobbly and alien, what on earth would I do with it?!

I remember buying one back in my early twenties pre children “let’s have everyone around for dinner parties” days and shoving slivers of it into a lemony salad.

But, now I’m a grown up, I’m a total fan! Yes, it works brilliantly in a salad but it is also fabulous roasted with a mustardy sauce and capers, cooked slowly in a stew or casserole, added to a curry or simply cooked gently in a soup like this one.

I slice the knobbly skin off with a sharp knife, you can use a peeler but it’s a fiddly little devil, why make life complicated?

Making Celeriac and Apple Soup

I love winter warmer recipes and I love them even more if they are quick like this easy celeriac and apple soup.

It requires no more than 6 ingredients and it’s ready in a flash.

Apple works so well here, its slight sharpness marries so well with the earthy sweetness of the celeriac.

Leave it out if you are not a fan of fruit in savouries, I won’t be offended!

This is the simplest of soup recipes, all you need to do is fry the onion and garlic before adding the rest of the ingredients and simmering it all until the celeriac is soft. Blend it until it’s smooth, season to taste and serve it. Easy!

Celeriac and Apple Soup Serving Suggestions

I served my appley celeriac soup up with some soft, pillowy white bread rolls but you could also try:

Wowing your guests with some homemade breadsticks.
This super simple no yeast herby soda bread, ready in 40 minutes.
Or topping it with homemade cumin croutons.

Why not pour it into a pretty flask, pop on some boots and stride out for a weekend walk with your loved ones?

Share it out on the top of your favourite hill, sip it on a winter beach or build a den in the woods and snuggle inside with celeriac and apple soup followed by a big slice of sticky gingerbread!

I haven’t had celeriac in far too long. It’s such a fab vegetable and makes perfect soup. Not sure I’ve ever seen quite such a cheeky soup as this, but it sounds fab.

The first thing I noticed was the lovely smiley face – just what we need to cheer us all up at the moment! I love the colour contrast of the soup and chilli oil against that vivid blue… gorgeous 🙂
