Directions
TESTED with better than bouillon: half mushroom and have vegetable soup base. Tested with a 12-oz celeriac. Plan to lose about 15% of the root during peeling. Puree soup with burst of celery flavors. The apples are not distinctive; instead they make the soup bright and crisp. Measures are not precise. Use what is on hand and add broth to thin soup to the consistency of an applesauce. Pat HDIRECTIONS: In a large, nonstick if possible, sauce pan, saute onions, potatoes, apples and celery root in cooking spray. Add ¼ teaspoon of a fruity olive oil, if using. When the onions are soft, add the first measure of vegetable broth; bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer (uncovered) for about 40 minutes until all vegetables are very soft. Puree, adding broth to thin the soup as necessary. Season with salt and pepper. Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice (optional). Serve in soup plates; garnish with chives and celery seeds. Offer a plain bread such as French or Italian white.
