Note
For a vegan version, ensure you use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock.
Celery root can be tough to peel; use a vegetable peeler or knife to remove the thick outer skin and any dark spots.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The soup may thicken as it cools; add a splash of stock or water when reheating to adjust consistency.
For a richer texture, you can stir in a splash of coconut milk or a knob of butter (or vegan butter) after blending.
