Directions

This recipe makes 8 1-cup servings.
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil, and add the chopped onion and mix until it becomes glassy - looking. Add chopped potato, celery root and after a couple of minutes, add pumpkin and garlic. Stir for five minutes and then add water (or broth) and nutmeg and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes. Allow to cool and put the soup in blender.
Serving: Place a scoop of sour cream in a plate and pour over hot soup and sprinkle with chopped celery leaves on top. Enjoy.
Tip: if the soup is cooked a day before, and placed in fridge, then blended the day after and heated a bit, it is even tastier, as ingredients will mix in better.

I make mine with green onion, mushrooms, minced garlic, can of pumpkin and 3 - 4 cups of vegetable broth. Works out to be about 200 calories for a serving (1 bowl). - 9/22/09

I used sweet potato instead of regular potato,
and I skipped the sour cream. - 11/10/07
