Here is how you make Creamy Jicama and Celeriac Soup - Low Carb, Gluten Free, Dairy and Soy Free:

If you don't have homemade stock ready to roll, here is a quick and easy recipe for stock from carcass (this is almost exactly how I make mine, except I saute the broken up carcass first in the pot with an onion until it's brown and fragrant, then add the water & other ingredients - the pan saute deepens the flavors and you won't have to skim it later - no beige scum!) http://mediterraneancuisine.suite101.com/article.cfm/how_to_make_chicken_stock_from_a_carcassTo make the soup:Place a large nonstick stockpot over medium high heat. Add the chicken fat, skin, & bones, and saute, making sure everything is browning but not burning. (Chicken fat is really yummy and healing - recent evidence has found that the fat contains an ingredient that helps us to fight colds!)When browned evenly, add the celery root, celery, jicama, and onion and saut? for at least 15 minutes, stirring often, until soft and brown. Add the stock & water, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Add garlic and remove from heat. If there is time, let the soup cool.Working in batches, pour the soup into a blender, cover the lid with a towel (the hot liquid tends to erupt), and blend on high. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls. Garnish with a swirl of basil oil if desired, or a small dice of jicama. (neither included in nutrition calculations though)Number of Servings: 6 (each serving is approx. 300 ml or 10 oz. but it really depends on how much water has boiled out in cooking - I get an 8-cup batch when I make this)Number of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user REBECCAFRIEDMAN.
