Preparation Steps
1
Peel the celery root and potatoes, then dice them into small cubes. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic.
2
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3
Add the diced celery root and potatoes, and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to develop the flavors.
4
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are completely tender.
5
Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. Stir in the heavy cream and ground nutmeg until well combined and creamy.
6
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
7
Serve hot, garnished with toasted croutons and a drizzle of extra heavy cream, if desired.
