CELERY ROOT SOUP WITH CHEESE

Celery is possibly the ugliest root vegetable out there, however it has very delicate mild flavour, perfect for those rainy autumn days.

250g celery root

1 cooking onion

2 tbsp butter

3 tbsp flour

1 L broth (chicken or vegetable)

1 egg yolk

100 g sour cream

80g emmental cheese

Wash and peel the celery root, cut into large wedges and shred in the food processor. Peel the onion and chop finely.

In a big pot melt the butter and sauté the onions lightly. Add shredded celery, flour and lightly roast it on medium heat, constantly mixing. Add bouillon to the pot, bring to a boil and cook about 10 min on low heat, until celery becomes tender. Add salt and pepper to taste.

In a separate bowl mix egg yolk with sour cream, add it to the soup and gradually bring to a boil.

Take the pot off the heat, adding small batches to the food processor or blender mix until smooth then

transfer to a fresh soup pot or a soup tureen.

Portion out the soup into plates or bowls and garnish with

freshly grated cheese. Serve hot with crouton
