Celeriac, thyme and lemon soup!

Here is a little recipe I love to make especially on cold days like today. I love the fresh taste of this!

Ingredients:

• 1 celeriac (peeled and cubed)
• 1 lemon (juice only)
• Bunch of thyme (lemon thyme works amazingly if you can get it)
• 2 cloves of garlic (peeled and crushed)
• 2 tbsp of rapeseed oil (or any oil of your choice)
• 1500ml of reduced salt vegetable bouillon

How to make:

1. Heat the oil in a pan and add the celeriac and garlic and cook for 5 minutes (do not brown)
2. Add the stock, lemon juice and thyme (about 5-8 sprigs) and simmer for 20-30 minutes until the celeriac is tender
3. Remove the thyme, blend with a stick blender, reheat and enjoy (I like a generous grinding of black pepper)

*For garnish you could add some fried pancetta for a meaty twist

** if you prefer a cream based soup reduce the stock by 500ml, and once blended add 500ml of milk (I use skimmed milk for this)
