Celeriac Soup With Pan Fried Garlic & Ginger, Pine Nuts And Parsley Oil

Celeriac is one of those ingredients that a lot of people tend to skip as it’s not very commonly used and has an odd shape. Even I only ever had it as either a soup or with mashed potatoes (blended into it). I won’t lie, it’s obviously harder to cut than a turnip or potato but it really has such a lovely flavour it is totally worth the effort.

I kept the flavours in this soup quite basic. I only added a little bit of ginger and garlic, pine nuts and parsley in addition to the onion, celeriac and vegetable stock cube. I used cream to make it silky smooth. It’s mentioned in the recipe below too, but as you can see in the photos I added the ginger and garlic on top to serve. However, keep in mind that not everyone likes biting into pure garlic or ginger as they both have strong tastes.
