Ingredients

  • 1 medium celeriac, peeled and diced
  • 1 large apple, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • optional croutons and chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it's translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and thyme, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the diced celeriac and apple to the pot, stirring well to combine with the onion and garlic. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the celeriac is tender.
  5. Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it reaches a smooth consistency. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.
  6. Return the blended soup to the pot over low heat. Stir in the coconut milk and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Heat through for another 5 minutes.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with croutons and a sprinkle of chopped chives if desired.
