I once had a similar recipe at a restaurant in Madison, WI as an amuse bouche. I tried to figure out all of the flavors and also searched online for some ideas. I came up with this recipe. It is simply the best soup around and so very simple. The white truffle oil to me is what kicks this up a notch. I drizzle this stuff on everything. It I could take a bath in it I would!
Ingredients
Celeriac Stock
- 6 cup water
- 2-3 cup celery root (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon celery seed (tied-up in a swatch of cheese cloth)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
Making the soup
- 4-5 cup celeriac (small dice)
- 4 cup heavy cream
- 2 1/2 cup celeriac stock (made from above)

Directions
Celeriac Stock
- Step 1
Combine all the ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 45 minutes.
- Step 2
Strain the stock, return to the pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce the stock to 2 1/2 cups. (The stock can be made up to 3 days in advance and refrigerated, covered.)
Making the soup
- Step 1
Combine all of the ingredients in a non-reactive pot, season with salt, to taste, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the celeriac is tender.
- Step 2
Strain the soup, reserving the celeriac and liquid separately.
- Step 3
Working in small batches, puree the celeriac with enough liquid to let the blender blades spin, and transfer to a bowl. I use in immersion blender here or my Blendtec blender. Just mix until smooth.
