Notes about this recipe

    I'm always on the look-out for recipes that use up the extra celery that always seems to be lingering in my refrigerator - this is a very nice soup that's easy to pull together. The apples add some sweetness and acidity which make this soup seem less starchy/potato-y than other celeriac soups I've had. My out-of-season apples weren't super-flavorful so it'll be interesting to see how better apples do. I did use a rich homemade chicken stock which probably added a lot of flavor and two sprigs of thyme since I'm a fan. Good both plain and with a bit of sour cream swirled in. I didn't make the optional croutons or curried apples though their textural contrast with the smooth, pureed soup would be nice. Yielded ~10 cups.

    Really delicious soup with a complex flavor. The combination of the celery, celery root and apple gives it many notes. Very creamy without adding any dairy. Definitely would make again.

    This was a really nice soup with complex flavor from the celery, celery root,and apple. Very creamy even though I did not add any of the dairy (listed as optional). Will definitely make again. Very healthy also. Did not make the curried apples but will next time. I did not taste it the day I made it, as I was in a rush, but we ate it the next day and the flavors melded nicely.

    After sitting for a couple of days, and served with the curried, sauteed apple: SPECTACULAR. Definitely a keeper.

    On first taste, this soup is good, but not spectacular. I'm going to let it think about it in the fridge for a bit, but for now, at least, the paris mushroom soup seems to me to have the bigger wow factor.

    This soup was very different and quite delicious. All three of the primary flavours stick out in the finished dish, the sweetness of the apple, the slight bitterness of the celery, and the mellow celery flavour of the celery root. Simple and delicious soup.
