sianon - This soup is delicious. As I am the only one in this household who eats soup, there are three portions now frozen for lunches for work.
brazen20au - mmm very good! I used half my celeriac which ended up being 200g, oops! nice anyway. I used thermomix rice milk instead of half an half so it was dairy free.

This sounds like a delicious soup, one question though. Is celery root what we call celeriac here in Aus ? Also what is half and half
Karen
-
half and half is half cream and half milk. you could probably replace with either, or evap milk etc
-
Too fast - while away from the computer for a couple of minutes.
Yes, celery root = celeriac - in season now (in Australia)
BTW - yes it does sound good - thanks again Melissa

Looks like this may be on the menu for lunch :)
-
If you do buy thr celeriac, then you can make a celeriac puree with what you don't use for the soup.
You could probably, quite easily, substitute celery if you don't wish to buy a 500g celeriac for 60g, but I would use it as a puree, mashed with potatoes, as celeriac remoulade, baked....
-
Do you mean cook the celeriac with the potatoes Thermomixer and then mash it all together?
-
You can do as a puree by itself or, yes, cook cubes with potatoes and mash together - make the potato chunks a bit bigger than the celeriac as the celeriac cooks faster.

I made this soup for dinner last night and it was delicious. As I am the only one in this household who eats soup, there are three portions now frozen for lunches for work. Three days where I won't be tempted to go to the cafe next door and spend $10 or so on my lunch. Now just need to whip up some home made bread rolls to go with the soup.

Sounds like a brilliant plan Karen!

i found some celaeriac today so will be making this soup this week :)
-
mmm very good!
i used half my celeriac which ended up being 200g, oops! nice anyway
very very very very hot though, even now, 10 mins after i ifinished making it
-
oh the other thing worth noting is that it was only enough for one serve each for us with 3 small children and 2 adults (though the kids loved it and 2 wanted seconds)
i think though if you were organised you could make one batch, put in thermoserver to keep hot, serve when a second batch is mostly cooked so you have more to go around :)
great budget recipe too!
oh and i used thermomix rice milk instead of half an half so it was dairy free :)
