We're about to go away for a couple of days - to visit the Tate St Ives amongst other places, and so have been going through the fridge, in order to use up fresh food before we leave.  There was half a celeriac, not sure what to do with it so looked at the River Cottage website and this was what Hugh suggested:

Celeriac Soup

  • 50g Butter
  • 1 Celeriac, peeled and cubed
  • 1 Potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 Leek, trimmed, washed and roughly sliced
  • 1 Onion, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 Garlic clove, sliced
  • 1 litre Stock, chicken, vegetable or made from the bones of your Christmas bird
  • Parsley & walnut pesto to serve
  •  
Amongst the comments underneath were suggestions to serve the soup with:
  • toasted hazelnuts, homemade croutons and parsley. 
  • fresh sage 
  • fresh parsley
I also saw on another site that they'd included some apple to spruce up the taste which sounds worth trying.

The suggestion for vegans was:  
dairy free Pure Sunflower Spread instead of butter
we used Knorr Vegetable Stock Pot 
we also sprinkled in some fresh sage as mentioned above
served with Focaccia and Olive oil/Balsamic vinegar dip.
