7 celery root recipes

I created this super comfort food soup after discovering celery root (celeriac) thanks to my European husband.

I top mine with croutons and extra celery leaves. Can easily be made vegetarian.

Apple and celery root puree is an unusual combination of flavors. Perfect with braised meat!
