Hands up who thinks that celeria and cauliflower soup will work?

[Overrun]

Am just starting chopping, so need to know soon

celeriac not a huge fan,so hand half up!

ROFL

I have never tried cauliflower in soup, but I think celeriac works well

It will be lovely. I would put a bit of mustard and some cumin in too and maybe a potato. And a bit of cream at the end.

erm...no - like 'em both but they are too strong in flavour to be put together in a soup.

Celeriac doesn't taste of much though does it?

oi..you laffin' at me , Mamag??

be more inclined to do broccoli and cauli!

I think it sounds great...

It does, it tastes strongly of celery.
Either but not both IMO.

Oh dear, a mixed response, guess I will have to make my own mind up now
Maybe I will try it as I am half way there, and report back. Have only chopped Celeriac, celery and onion so far, so could change my mind if there is a groundswell of opinion against

celeriac is quite strong but i only eat it raw

I strongly think that it will be very nice.

I want you to try it now and report back
Then when I end up with both in my organic box I'll know what to do.

Hugh FW has a white winter soup in his family cookbook which contains both so I'm sure it will be fine. He uses stock, whole milk and cream in at the end too.

Bagpuss, thats my idea as well, I have put chicken stock in, and will put some double cream in at the end
I reckon it will work, both celeriac and cauliflower go well with cheese, and I cook celery and cauliflower together fairly regularly.
Wish me luck, and I will tell you how it turns out

it will be delicious. plenty of stock. make sure they are v soft and puree.....ooooo velvety it will be! I second some mustard and cumin...

Ta, will seriously consider some mustard, not so sure the cumin would work in this soup, although I agree it goes brilliantly with cauli ( I often dry fry it with cumin and spices, and then roast it in the oven

Good luck .

We had a celeriac last week (organic veg box strikes!) and I souped it and then added some chopped crispy bacon when I served it, it was yummy!

hi overrun I make a yummy cauli soup with a strong cheese in it and mustard stirred in at the end, would happily add celeriac if I had one (I have made some v odd soups recently, thanks to veg box!)

Thanks dingdong, it is smelling quite nice now, simmering away

I have to say that it was

fantastic Very nice indeed if I say so myself. The best thing was the dts ate it as well, and they have been saying "no oup" with alarming regularity this last month, so I am chuffed that they gulped this one down. I suppose the whiteness of it was more attractive to them than a green or red colour lol

Tut tut, I was led to believe that the outcome of my soup was being waiting on with baited breath

Gald it worked-could have done with a nice bowl myself last night

Oh Overrun, I've been waiting all night until I could log on this morning and find out

Am about to do some celeriac soup myself but no cauli; will bear it in mind when I have one!

Celeriac loses some of it's "potency" when cooked though doesn't it?

Sounds lovely - I'm a believer in the chuck it all in and see what happens type of cooking - just after Christmas the YIAM household was treated to sprout and chestnut soup !! - and it was surprisingly good even Wonson gulped it down asked for more then went completely off it on his 3rd bowl when I told him it contained sprouts !!
