1 T unsalted butter
1 T extra virgin olive oil
1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 cup peeled and coarsely chopped celery root**
8 oz. bottled or vacuumed packed steamed chestnuts
1/2 t minced fresh thyme
4 cups low sodium vagetable broth (use chicken for more protein)

Here is how you make Chestnut Celery Root Soup:

Melt butter in oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, 10 mins. Add celery root, chestnuts, thyme, and stock (if stock doesn't cover your ingredients, add sotck/water to just cover as necessary). Simmer, covered, for about 20-25 mins, until celery root is tender. Puree soup with an imersion blender, or in a regular blender in batches. Stir in salt and pepper and optional cream. Serve in warmed bowls with bread for dipping or a side salad. Garnish with chives, if using. **The easiest way I've found to peel a celery root is not to bother with a peeler at all. After washing the root thoroughly (them suckers are muddy!) slice off the top and base of the root with a butcher knife. Setting the root on one of it's newly-flat sides, run your knife from the top to bottom of the root, cutting away the skin in thick strips, exposing the smooth white interior. Chop the flesh coarsely.Serving Size:?Makes 6 1-cup servingsNumber of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user KNITMETOGETHER.
