Ingredients

  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large celeriac / celery root approx 900g, skin removed & chopped
  • 1 large garlic clove chopped
  • 1 vegetable stock cube made up with 1 litre / 4¼ cups boiling water
  • salt and pepper
  • 7 tbsp skimmed milk (100ml)
  • calorie controlled cooking spray Frylight / Pam
  • 2 bacon medallions optional
  • 1 tbsp croutons optional

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in large saucepan. When hot, add the chopped celeriac and cook for approx 15 minutes making sure that you stir often to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.  If it does start to stick towards the end of cooking add a couple of tablespoons of water to the pan. 
  • Add  the chopped garlic and saute for a further 1 - 2 minutes before adding the stock. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 - 15 minutes until the celeriac is nice and soft. Add the milk, stir and cook for a further minute before taking off the heat.
  • Use a hand blender to make a smooth soup (or put batches of it through a blender if you prefer). Season to taste. 
  • If you are wanting to serve the soup with bacon, keep the soup warm whilst you fry the bacon medallions in a frying pan with a couple of pumps of calorie controlled spray oil. Once it is nice and crispy, remove it from the pan and chop it into small pieces. 
  • Serve the soup hot, with a sprinkling of bacon bits and a couple of croutons.
