Servings: 2
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

- 2 leeks, white and light green parts only, sliced
- 1 small celeriac, peeled and diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh chives or parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and diced celeriac. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 8-10 minutes.

2. Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the celeriac is tender.

4. Using an immersion blender or regular blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth.

5. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Allow the soup to simmer for another 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

7. Ladle the creamy leek and celeriac soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chives or parsley.

8. Serve hot and enjoy!

Special Tips or Variations:

- For added richness, you can swirl in a tablespoon of sour cream or crème fraîche before serving.

- If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can add a potato (peeled and diced) along with the celeriac for extra creaminess.

- Feel free to customize the soup by adding your favorite herbs or spices such as thyme, rosemary, or a pinch of nutmeg.
