Equipment

  • Large soup pot
  • Blender or immersion blender

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups (1 quart) chicken stock (or veggie)
  • ½ to 1 celeriac cubed (about 2 1/2 cups)
  • 2-3 potatoes cubed (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • ¾ apple cubed (thinly slice the rest for serving)
  • 1 medium yellow or white onion sliced
  • 2-3 shallots sliced
  • ½ to 1 head garlic roughly minced
  • Salt & pepper a couple pinches
  • ½ can coconut milk (SHAKE can before opening it)
  • Handful of hazelnuts roughly chopped
  • 2 cups crouton cubes PLAIN
  • Oil salt & pepper, to taste

For serving:

  • ¼ apple thinly sliced (as noted above)
  • Parmesan or sharp cheddar finely shredded (for serving)

Instructions
 

  • Bring a quart of stock to boil on the stove in a large soup pot.
  • Add chopped celeriac, potatoes, and apples. Simmer on a low boil for about 20 minutes until very soft when smashed with a spoon. Remove from heat.
  • MEANWHILE, heat up a pan with oil. Saute sliced onions and shallots on medium high with a lid for a couple of minutes, then remove the lid.
  • Add garlic and a pinch of salt & pepper. Saute together until all are translucent and browned. Add this onion mixture into the soup pot with the root veggies.
  • Use an immersion blender to blend the soup to a smooth consistency (or transfer to blender and carefully blend in small batches). Stir in coconut milk.
  • In your frying pan that's still hot from the onions, toss in your bread cubes and toast with a couple good splashes of oil and some salt and pepper. Add hazelnuts when the bread is almost toasted, so they finish at the same time. Remove from heat.
  • Serve soup topped with shredded cheese, hazelnut crunchies, and finely sliced apples.
