Servings: 4
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil divided
- 1 medium onion diced
- 4 celery stalks or 2 cups, trimmed, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 cup celery root chopped
- 2 large russet potato about 1 pound, peeled and roughly chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 1/2 cups vegetables broth
- 1 1/2 cups white or brown mushrooms sliced
- 2 tablespoons spring onions sliced, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the celery, celery root and diced potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the vegetable broth and bring to boil over high. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until all the vegetables are soft, about 20 minutes.
- Working in two or three batches, transfer the soup to a blender and purée until smooth. Adjust salt and pepper to your liking.
- In a medium pan, heat the remaining oil. Once it is hot, add the mushrooms and spread into one layer. Season with salt and pepper. Allow to cook undisturbed for 3 to 5 minutes until one side is browned. Stir and continue cooking for an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are mostly golden brown on all sides.
- Add the cooked mushrooms to the pot of soup and stir to combine.
- Garnish with spring onions.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Storage
- Let the soup cool down to room temperature before storing it.
- Transfer the soup to an airtight container or a large glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
- Store the soup in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
- To reheat the soup, gently warm it on the stove or in the microwave, stirring occasionally until it is hot throughout.
- If you have leftovers that you don't plan to eat within 4-5 days, consider freezing the soup for later consumption.
- Discard any leftover soup that has been sitting at room temperature for more than 2 hours, as it can spoil quickly.
