Ingredients
- 1 celeriac, peeled and roughly chopped
- 2 parsnips, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 onion, peeled and chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled
- 100g of cooked chestnuts
- 1-litre of chicken or vegetable stock
- 150ml of single cream
- 50g of salted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp of olive oil
- 3 bay leaves
- 8-10 sage leaves
- 2 tbsp of truffle oil
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/Gas Mark 5.
- Place the chopped celeriac and parsnip in a large ovenproof dish. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, season with salt and pepper and add the bay leaves. Stir to coat and roast for 1 hour or until the vegetables are tender and crisping at the edges. Remove and set aside.
- Place onion and garlic in the Dualit chopping bowl and blitz till finely chopped.
- Add onion and garlic mix to a large heavy-based pot with 1tbsp olive oil and sweat on a gentle heat.
- Next, finely chop the chestnuts in the Dualit hand blender chopping bowl and add two-thirds of the chestnuts to the pot. Retain the rest for serving.
- When the onions are soft and translucent, add the roasted vegetable to the pot and stir well.
- Add the hot stock to the pot and simmer for 20 minutes on a medium heat.
- Remove the bay leaves from the pot and using the Dualit hand blender, blend till the soup is a smooth consistency.
- Add the cream, butter and stir well before checking for seasoning.
- In a frying pan with a little oil, add the sage leaves and remaining chopped chestnuts and fry till crisp. Remove from the heat and sit on a sheet of kitchen paper to absorb excess oil.
- Serve the soup piping hot and top with crisp sage, chestnuts and drizzle with truffle oil.
