Celeriac

Weird looking but good for you!

Don't let the weird look of celeriac keep you from giving it a try. It is great in soups and stews and with only 40 calories to a cup it is an excellent fat burner.

Celeriac Soup

1 small celeriac peeled and cubed
3 small onions, quartered
3 small carrots peeled and quartered
5 or 6 celery stalks, cut into pieces
1 Tbsp butter
2 cups vegetable stock
salt and pepper to taste
chopped parsley to garnish

Sautee the onions and carrots until they are just barely softened. Add the celery and celeriac and mix well making sure to coat them with butter. Add enough stock to cover, bring to a boil, and let simmer for about an hour or until the veggies are tender. Top with chopped parsley and serve hot.
