Chunky Cheddar & Celeriac Soup
1 tbsp butter
3 onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
500g potatoes, peeled and diced
2 celeriac bulbs (~1kg total), peeled and diced into bite-size pieces
1l stock plus water to add
4 sage leaves
2 strips lemon peel/1 tsp lemon juice
Diced, crumbly mature cheddar, amount to taste
1. In a large pan, melt the butter. Add the onions and garlic and cook until soft.
2. Add the potatoes, stock, sage and lemon peel/juice. At this point I cooked everything until soft and then pureed it, and afterwards added the celeriac to soften. This gives you a nice creamy soup with chunks of tasty celeriac. You can also just add everything with the stock and simmer until the potatoes break apart and thicken it up a bit.
3. Spoon whilst still hot into bowls and add the bits of cheddar on top. Serve and enjoy!
