ingredients
- 1 medium celeriac, roughly chopped into 1 inch cubes
- 1 white onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 400 g tinned butter beans, drained and rinsed

- Transfer back to the pan, reheat and add the butter beans. Stir well, and season with freshly ground black pepper and a little cumin to taste.

This was delicious! I have always wanted to try celery root but the recipes I found were fussy. This was very straightforward and simple. The flavors blended perfectly and the soup was very satifying despite being "light". I doubled the recipe and used 10 cloves of garlic because my husband and I are garlic fanatics but otherwise made the dish as printed. Thank you for sharing!

Excellent, simple soup. Another celeriac soup recipe on Recipezaar is served cold, with buttermilk; you could do the same with this for leftovers. We reserved some cubes of celeriac to give the soup additional texture, and we omitted the butter. We garnished the soup with very thinly sliced scallions, a dash of cumin, and a sprinkle of black pepper. Should be served with French bread.
