Vegetarian Potato and Celeriac Soup


This can be made with any kind of broth, I just happened to use vegetable broth. It was made with the contents of my March 19th CSA share. It is a great way to use celeriac, especially if you are not sure what to do with it. I don't think many people can tell the difference between celeriac and potato when they are both in a soup, but if it is good, who cares, right?  We also ate the spicy baby greens from the share with the leftover Strawberry Poppy dressing, goat cheese, cranberries, apples and slivered almonds.

Ingredients:
1/2 large onion, diced
3 tbsp butter
1 celery root (celeriac) peeled and diced
4-6 medium potatoes, peel and cubed
4 cups broth or stock
1/2 c cream or half and half
salt, pepper, and thyme to taste

Add butter and onion to pot and cook on medium heat until onions begin to slightly brown. Add celeriac, cooking with onions for about 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add about 1 cup stock or broth and allow it to come just to a boil, add potatoes. Make sure it is barely boiling, add the rest of the stock and bring it to a simmer. Cover, reducing heat if necessary. When potatoes are soft and celeriac cooked, add cream and seasonings to taste.
