Serve warm and enjoy the nice and creamy soup! Creamy celeriac soup is a delicious and restorative dish that you can serve as an appetiser or main course. Celeriac, with the addition of potatoes, makes the soup filling enough, while the potatoes also act as a natural thickener that contributes to the fine, creamy texture. Due to its intense aroma, celeriac is suitable for preparing soups and stews without stock. Plain water will absorb the strong aroma of celery and make it the flavour carrier. With just a few basic spices, you will quickly have a healthy plate.
Colder days are always more enjoyable with a plate of hot soup.
Celeriac (or celery root) has many health benefits. It is a good source of fiber and contains many other vitamins and minerals, the most prominent of which are vitamin C, vitamin K, and magnesium. Although fiber helps in the digestive process, it should be noted that larger amounts can sometimes burden the stomach and cause bloating. If you are not used to eating foods rich in fiber, it is recommended to start with smaller amounts.
