Celeriac and Bramley apple soup

There’s a sweetness to this delicious soup that I originally thought was coming from the apple but no, it was the celeriac. Such a delicious and unrated vegetable in my opinion. I cooked it as a starter before a roast dinner at my parents house. Dad was initially sceptical but after tasting it, admitted it was delicious. If you give it a go, I’d recommend using homemade chicken stock if possible (my saint of a mum always has a supply in her freezer) and provided you eat meat, the smoked pancetta is a must! It acts like an additional seasoning! If you don’t do meat, anything smoked and crunchy would work I’m sure.

Steps
- 1
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees C (fan). Put the celeriac on a roasting tray. Coat with oil and season with salt and pepper for 50 minutes until soft and golden.
- 2
Heat a tbsp olive oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion, celery, garlic and apple. Fry until it starts to soften. Then add the thyme and fry for another minute.
- 3
Add the celeriac, sage and chicken stock to the pan. Bring to the boil and then simmer for 30 minutes.
- 4
Remove from the heat and blitz until smooth with a stick blender.
- 5
Quickly fry off the pancetta in a small pan over a medium high heat until crispy. Then remove from the heat and finely chop.
- 6
Serve the soup with a splash of cream (I had leftover whipping cream to use up but any would do) and a sprinkling of pancetta.
