INGREDIENTS

  • 2 medium sized celery roots, peeled and washed

  • 4 medium sized parsnips, peeled

  • 1 yellow onion, peeled

  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander

  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth at room temperature

  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

  • 8 garlic cloves, peeled, thinly sliced

  • 1 teaspoon light brown sugar

DIRECTIONS

  • Cut celery roots, parsnips and onion to roughly 1½ inch cubes. Put ¼ cup olive oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat, add vegetables and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add coriander, broth and salt, bring to boil, lower heat, cover pot and cook for 30 minutes, until the vegetables are very tender. Transfer to a blender and blend until very smooth. Return soup to pot over low heat, adjust salt to taste, cook for an extra minute and remove from heat.
  • While soup is cooking, prepare the caramelized garlic. Put 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat, then add garlic and brown sugar. Cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is golden brown and sticky. Remove from heat and transfer garlic with cooking oil immediately to a small bowl to stop the cooking process. Keep until ready to serve the soup.
  • Ladle soup into soup bowls, top with garlic and olive oil and serve.
