A beautiful aromatic soup made from the rather odd-looking celeriac, creamy butter beans, and a simple but tasty seasoning to give the hearty dish its bite.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium celeriac, roughly chopped into 1 inch cubes
1 white onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
400 g tinned butter beans, drained and rinsed
1 liter vegetable stock
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon butter (optional) or 1 teaspoon soya margarine (optional)

Steps:

  • Warm the oil in a large pan, then fry the onion and garlic for three-four minutes until softening.
  • Add the celeriac and mix ingredients well. Cook for a minute or so.
  • Pour in just over half of the vegetable stock, and sprinkle in the cumin powder.
  • Cover, reduce heat and cook for fifteen minutes, until celeriac is quite tender. Add half of the remaining stock, and leave to cool (roughly 30-40 minutes).
  • Pour in the rest of the stock, then using a food processor or a hand-blender, puree the mixture to a smooth consistency.
  • Transfer back to the pan, reheat and add the butter beans. Stir well, and season with freshly ground black pepper and a little cumin to taste.
