Cream of Celeriac Soup

This interesting vegetable can be eaten raw or cooked and is the root of a type of celery plant (so it tastes pretty similar celery stalks but with a completely different texture).








Ingredients
1 celeriac pealed and diced
1L chicken stock
white pepper
parsley chopped
1 can evaporated milk
dash of lemon juice

Method
1. Simmer celeriac in chicken stock in a large saucepan.
2. Once tender strain off some of the chicken stock. Use a food processor or barmix to bend. Add a dash of lemon juice and mix well.
3. Add chopped pasley and pepper.
4. Put back on heat and add evaporated milk. Bring to the boil mixing well.

Serve
