Celeriac, Salsify and Roast Onion Soup

Yes, it does sound a bit odd but I was doing my usual peering in the fridge at what needed to be eaten and I had a stick of salsify and a half a celeriac. I knew it needed something to give it a sweet twist so I roasted two onions. Ahh the smell was amazing. And the soup was so moreish.. really worth a try.

I love soup. During these cold months its just so easy to make and not only does it use up vegetables you need to eat before they go bad...its easy. And good for you. And comforting. Give it a go..

Ingredients:

2 large onions, peeled & left whole
1 tsp. olive oil
120g salsify, peeled & chopped
1/2 head celeriac, peeled & chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled & chopped
1 litre vegetable stock
salt & pepper


Method:

Put the two onions in a small ceramic dish. Drizzle with the oil, sprinkle with salt & pepper and roast for 1 hour at 200 C.  Leave to cool and remove the tough blackened outer skin (You can leave a few browned bits in) and chop roughly.

Put the vegetables(salsify, celeriac & garlic)  in a large saucepan and boil for about 30 minutes until soft. Add the roasted onion and blitz with a hand blender. Season with salt & pepper and serve hot with crusty bread. Its that easy!
