Looking for that perfect soup for the starter at Christmas? Look no further. Our friends over at Neff have created this delicious recipe for a Winter Warmer Soup. 

 

Ingredients

Serves 6

1 Celeriac, peeled and chopped into 2cm chunks

2 potatoes, pelled and chopped into 2cm chunks

1 sweet potato, peeled and chopped into 2cm chunks

2 tbsps olive oil

¼ tsp salt

¼ tsp pepper

2 eating apples, peeled and chopped into 2cm chunks

1 eating apple, sliced (no need to peel)

2 cloves garlic, peeled

800ml chicken or vegetable stock

200ml milk

6 tbsps crème fraiche

2 tbsp walnut oil

12 walnuts, roughly chopped

Small bunch fresh thyme

Method:

Step 1

Preheat the oven to CircoTherm® 170°C.

 

Step 2

Place the celeriac, potatoes and sweet potatoes on a baking tray. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle on the salt and pepper. Place in the oven to roast with low added steam for 15 minutes.

 

Step 3

After 15 minutes, add the apple chunks, sliced apples and garlic to the tray. Toss together to coat in the oil, then place back in the oven for a further 15-20 minutes, until the vegetables are lightly golden.

Step 4

Remove the roasted apple slices from the tray and put to one side (these are for decoration). Transfer everything else from the tray into a large saucepan.

Step 5

Add the stock and milk and heat until just boiling. Turn off the heat, and carefully blend using an immersion blender or in a heat-safe blender (if you’re worried about splashing the hot liquid, you could blend the mixture before you heat it through).

Step 6

Divide the soup between six bowls. Stir in the crème fraiche and drizzle with walnut oil. Decorate with roasted apple slices, chopped walnuts and fresh thyme leaves.
