About

The original potato and leek soup was created by Chef Louis Diat at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in New York in 1910—a memory of his mother’s soup, made at the family home in Vichy, France.

We like the fresh flavor that celery root adds here.

Ingredients

4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter
3 cups diced onions

Method

Melt the butter in a large soup pot. Add the onions and leek, and cook over medium heat until the vegetables are wilted, 10 minutes.
Add the potatoes, celeriac, and garlic. Stir well, and cook 5 minutes. Then add the stock, lemon juice, celery seeds, and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and cover. Simmer until the celeriac is tender, 30 minute
