In a large soup pot cook the leeks, garlic, salt and 1/2 cup
sherry/wine/stock over medium heat, stirring often, for 10 minutes or until
the leeks are very tender and start to caramelize. Add the thyme, bay,
celery root, 8 cups of stock, and chestnuts. Cover and simmer for 40
minutes, or until the celery root and chestnuts are soft. Add the lemon
zest, nutmeg, tarragon, pepper, miso and salt. Remove from heat and discard
the bay leaves. In a blender, blend the soup in small batches until smooth,
adding rice or soy milk if necessary for desired consistency. Taste and
