From Ricardo. It looks so yummy. I have not tried it, but when I'll do, I'll add a toast on it and swiss cheese, then broil in the oven like an onion soup ;)

A nice soup on its own but does need cheese. The broth has a nice rich flavor without being heavy, had never cook with celery root before and was pleasantly surprised by it mild flavor. Made as written and after trying add some parmesan cheese, thinking Boomette's suggestion of adding toast and cheese is a good one and I would then put in the oven for a few minutes to make it brown and toasty on top. Will be making again with the above changes. Thanks for the post.
