When Cam announced this theme I was very happy because I had a couple of celery root from my CSA languishing in my refrigerator.  They needed to be used and now I had a purpose for them.  If you are a celery lover you are going to love this creamy soup chock full of fresh celery flavor.





Celery root is such an ugly vegetable.  Like many ugly things there is beauty hidden inside.  In this case, that beauty is the smooth, creamy, deliciousness that occurs when you simmer it with onions and celery stalks before giving it a whirr in a blender and adding a touch of heavy cream.
