 Celeriac Soup

Souper for a dreary day!

1 celeriac, chopped

1 head of celery, chopped

2 granny smith apples, peeled and chopped

1 tin of butter beans, drained and rinsed

fresh parsley

salt and pepper

hazelnuts, a handful chopped and roasted


Prep time 10 mins

Instant Pot cook time 10 mins, allow 10 mins to come up to pressure

Serves 6, 156 calories per serving

This is a fab soup, rich in Vitamin K and B6.  No oil added but some
fat derived from the yummy hazelnut topping.  This is a lovely, easy to digest, warm and comforting soup.  The butter beans give it a creaminess.


Add all of your veggies to the Instant Pot. Add enough water to come around 2/3 of the way to your veggies.  Add some Himalayan rock salt.

Set Instant Pot to 10 mins at high pressure.  Then do a QPR.

While the soup is cooking, toast your chopped hazelnuts in a dry frying pan. Set them aside to use as a crunchy topping on your soup. 

When your soup is cooked, whizz it with a hand blender in the Instant Pot. Add your chopped fresh parsley, adjust seasoning to taste.  Garnish with toasted hazelnuts

Enjoy!
