I had been making celeriac soup for years, in different ways. But my absolute soulmate in the field of cooking – Astrid – came back from France this summer with the text: I have your Christmas soup for you. She had eaten it in a restaurant in Brittany. Copied him à la Astrid. I tasted that amazing soup and made an à la Damaris version of it. Truly divine. And super surprising. Behold this unforgettable soup. Tip: make it the day before, then it will be even tastier.

Ingredients

  • 7 shallots

  • 1 celeriac

  • 2 large soft-boiling potatoes

  • 2 vanilla pods

  • 3 vegetable stock cubes

  • olive oil

  • salt and pepper

  • 1 cup arugula

  • 75 gram sour berries

  • sumac

Cooking time

  • Coarsely chop the shallots and fry them in the olive oil in the soup pan until soft and ‘sweet’.
    Peel the celeriac and cut it into 3 by 3 cm pieces and add to the pan.
    Let it fry for 20 minutes in the oil, with the lid on and a crack open.
    Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and cut them into pieces.
  • Meanwhile, cut open the vanilla pods and scrape out the seeds.
    Do not throw away the sticks.
  • In the food processor, mix the arugula with a little olive oil and salt and pepper to a creamy oil.
  • Soak the sour berries in a bowl of warm water.
  • Now add water to the celeriac until it is just submerged. Add the potatoes. And the vanilla seeds and the vanilla pods.
    Now let everything boil for about half an hour.
    Prick the celeriac to see if they are cooked through.
  • Now take out the vanilla pods and puree the soup. Bring it to taste with salt and pepper. If the soup remains too thick for your liking, you can add a little more water or cream. When the soup is good in texture, put the vanilla pods back in.
  • Serve with the arugula oil on top of the soup, the sour berries in the middle and some sumac around it. It’s as divine as it looks.
