INSTRUCTIONS
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 H
DIRECTIONS: In a large, nonstick if possible, sauce pan, saute onions,
potatoes, apples and celery root in cooking spray. Add 1/4 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.
