Celery and celery root combine to make this a double celery soup. Just a small amount of cream is needed to make it extra creamy. If you've got a bunch of celery with their leaves, you can use the leaves to garnish the soup. — The Beekman 1802 Heirloom Vegetable Cookbook Click Here to See More Soup Recipes

Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 6 pale green celery stalks, thinly sliced (3 cups)
  • 1 medium celery root (celeriac), peeled and thinly sliced (1 cup)
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium russet (baking) potato, peeled and thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon coarse (kosher) salt, plus more
  • 3 cup chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon fresh lemon or regular thyme leaves
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
Directions
  1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the celery, celery root, onions, and potatoes and sprinkle with the salt. Cover and cook for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but not browned.
  2. Add the broth and thyme and bring to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are almost falling apart.
  3. Working in batches, transfer to a blender, add the cream, and purée until very smooth. Season to taste with more salt, if you like, and serve hot.
