Celeriac, Apple and Thyme Soup

 

Celeriac is often a forgotten vegetable, it’s knobbly earthy exterior can be off-putting and raise uncertainty as to how to cook it, but once you’ve tried this soup, you won’t be stuck again. Best eaten in early spring and can be roasted, mashed or blended into soups, it’s a very versatile vegetable which can be prepared and cooked similarly to most root veg. Nutritionally, celeriac very low in calories, but high in fibre meaning you’ll stay fuller and satisfied for longer.

It’s an excellent source of essential minerals including phosphorous, iron, calcium and manganese, it’s also a great source of vitamin K which improves bone mineralisation and has high concentrations of vitamin C, essential for strengthening the immune system and destroying free radicals.

This soup is a perfect balance of earthy, sweet and savoury with a smooth and silky consistency when blended, the apple adds sweet notes which are highlighted by the robust flavour of thyme. It’s really simple to make and comes together in around 30 mins which is perfect for a light yet comforting meal.
