Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup unsalted cashews
2 cups water
1/2 cup low sodium vegetable broth
1 to 1.5 tablespoons nutritional yeast
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small leek
1 large carrot (peeled and cut small (about 1 cup))
4 cloves garlic (minced)
2 pounds celery root (peeled and cut into small cubes (about 7 cups))
1 pound potatoes (white or yellow) (peeled and cut into small cubes (about 3 cups))
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme)
5 to 6 cups low sodium vegetable broth
Croutons (garnish to taste (optional))

Steps:

  • Place cashews in a small pot with about 2 cups of water and bring to a simmer. Reduce to a low-medium simmer and cook for 15 to 20 minutes to soften cashews. Drain and rinse.
  • Place cashews, nutritional yeast, and vegetable broth in a high-powered blender.
  • Cover and blend until smooth and not grainy. Time may vary depending on how powerful your blender is. I don't add any salt, but you could if you prefer. Set aside.Note: If you want things thicker, use less broth.
  • Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Then add leek, carrot, and garlic. Cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes.
  • Add celery root, potatoes, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Stir. Pour in vegetable broth (I use 6 cups, but use 5 if you want a thicker consistency).
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat (to about medium-low heat) to a simmer. Cover and cook for 25 to 30 minutes or until veggies are tender.
  • Remove two cups of soup, place into a heat-safe container, and carefully blend with an immersion blender until smooth. Stir back into the soup.
  • Stir in the cashew cream. Note: If you want to use dairy instead of cashew cream, stir in 1/2 cup or so of half-and-half or heavy cream.
  • To serve, divide the soup into bowls and garnish (as desired) with any of your favourite soup toppings (croutons are delicious). Enjoy!

Categories     easy, soups and stews

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion or 2 leeks (white and light green part only), chopped
2 to 3 celery stalks, diced
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 rosemary or thyme branches
2 bay leaves
3 1/2 pounds mixed root vegetables (carrot, parsnip, celery root, turnip, rutabaga, sweet or regular potato), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 teaspoons fine sea salt, more as needed
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, more as needed
Juice of 1/2 lemon, more for serving
Extra-virgin olive oil
Flaky sea salt
Crushed Aleppo, Urfa or other chile flakes, optional
Grated Parmesan or pecorino, optional

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Stir in onion and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.

Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Remove and discard rosemary branches and bay leaves. Using an immersion blender, purée soup until smooth. (Alternatively, you can purée the soup in batches in a blender or food processor.) If the soup is too thick, add a little water. Season with lemon juice and more salt to taste.

Tips:

  • Choose the right celery root. Look for celery roots that are firm and heavy for their size. Avoid any that are soft or have blemishes.
  • Peel the celery root carefully. The skin of the celery root is thin and easy to remove, but it can be a bit slippery. Use a sharp knife to carefully peel the celery root, taking care not to cut yourself.
  • Cut the celery root into small pieces. This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
  • Sauté the celery root in butter. This will help to develop its flavor and give the soup a rich, creamy texture.
  • Add the broth and seasonings. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the celery root is tender.
  • Purée the soup. Use an immersion blender or a regular blender to purée the soup until it is smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, be sure to let the soup cool slightly before blending.
  • Stir in the milk and cream. This will help to make the soup even more creamy and flavorful.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste, and any other desired seasonings.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs. Chopped parsley, chives, or dill are all good options.
