Celeriac and leek soup
Plenty of seasonal fare in this recipe. Leek is now coming into its own as well as celeriac. Celeriac adds a deep earthy note to the soup while the leek lifts with its sweetness, giving a lovely contrast in flavours for a winter soup.
700ml chicken or veg stock
100ml milk
200g celeriac finely chopped
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
1 leek finely chopped
50ml crème fraiche
Salt and pepper to taste
Butter for frying
Fry off the leek and garlic in the butter on a low heat until soft and glossy
Pour in the stock, add the celeriac and cook for 20 minutes until a knife pierces both easily
Add the milk and stir through
Allow the soup to cool slightly before transferring to a blender to puree until smooth
Return the soup to the pan, add the crème fraiche and stir until incorporated
Season to taste
