Soup Preparation

1

Sauté Vegetables

In a large pot, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and garlic, and sauté until translucent.

2

Cook Celery Root

Add the diced celery root and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the celery root is tender, about 20 minutes.

3

Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Cook Apples

In a small saucepan, combine diced apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat until apples are soft and syrupy, about 10 minutes.
