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
-
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.
-
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.

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