Serves

1 Onion
1/2 oz butter or oil
2 medium potatoes
1 medium celeriac
2 pints chicken or vegetable stock
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
4 tablespoons single cream or Greek yoghurt (optional)
Methods/steps
- Peel and chop the onion.
-
Melt the butter over low heat and add the onion.
-
Stir and fry for 8 minutes, don’t let it go brown.
-
Peel and chop the potatoes, add to the pan, stir and fry with the onions.
-
Peel away the thick skin and chop up into small chunks and add to the pan.
-
Stir and fry for a further few minutes.
-
Dissolve the stock cubes or bouillon powder in the water and pour into the pan.
-
Bring to the boil.
-
Stir, turn heat low, and cover the pan.
-
Simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes and celeriac are soft.
-
Taste, and add seasoning if necessary.
-
Remove the pan from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
-
Blend the soup using a liquidiser or stick blender. (For a more chunky texture, leave some of the soup un-processed.)
-
Re-heat gently and mix in the parsley and cream or Greek yoghurt if you are using it - or you can add a little swirl to each bowl of soup if you prefer.
