Silky Celery Root & Leek Bisque
A winter star. The earthy, nutty flavor of celery root (celeriac) complements the sweetness of leeks. Many use celery root just for flavoring stocks, but as the main star in a cream soup, it reveals its true character. This soup is real 'comfort food' that warms from the inside.
