Wintery Days Call for a Hearty Soup: A Recipe to Warm the Soul
There's no denying it - some days are simply meant for soup. And on those grey, wintry days, there's one type of soup that's hard to beat: creamy root vegetable soup.
Now, before you think this means giving up your New Year's resolutions, rest assured that cream isn't actually the star of the show here. Instead, it's a silky-smooth puree made with starchy root vegetables and stock, finished off with just a splash of milk - making it impossible to tell from a rich and velvety soup.
One of the main attractions of this recipe is its humble hero: celery root. With its wizened exterior giving way to milky white flesh, slightly nutty and mildly fragrant with a hint of celery, it's an underdog ingredient that steals the show in this recipe.
The parsnip is the perfect partner in crime for celery root, adding its sweet earthiness to the pot. And let's not forget thyme and garlic, which bring their own special something to this comforting bowl - sure to warm and soothe you on even the chilliest of days.
So, what do we need to get started?
Here are the ingredients: olive oil, leeks, parsnips, celery root, garlic, chicken stock, thyme, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
The active time for this recipe is 20 minutes, but with some prep work upfront, it'll take around 45-50 minutes to get from soup pot to table.
And the best part? This recipe serves up a whopping four to six people, making it perfect for cozy nights in with friends or family.
