Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 4 shallots, sliced
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 4 cups chicken stock, divided use
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 1 large or 2 small celeriac roots
  • salt and ground white pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Put oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and saute onion and shallots until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add white wine and reduce until almost dry. Add 2 cups of the chicken stock and reduce until almost dry. Add the cream and simmer slowly until reduced by about 1/5, approximately 10 minutes. Strain and reserve the liquid.

  2. Thoroughly peel the celeriac roots, cutting off any fibrous parts. Cut into 1/2 inch cubes. Add the cubes and the remaining 2 cups of chicken stock to the reserved cream base and simmer until the celeriac is tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.

  3. In batches, pour into a blender and puree. Add salt and white pepper, if needed.
