Ingredients

    1/4 to 1/2 stick butter (calculations are for 3 tbsp)
    4 stalks celery, chopped
    1/4 C shallots, chopped
    2 to 2 1/2 pounds celery root, cut in 1/2" cubes
    6 C water
    1/4 to 1/2 C coconut milk (calculations are for 1/2 C)
    1/4 tsp black pepper
    1 1/2 tsp natural sea salt
    3 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Melt the butter (you can use oil if you prefer but the calculations are for butter) in a deep, heavy bottomed pot. Add the celery and the shallots. sauté until soft but not browned about 5 minutes or so. Add the cubed celery root and sauté for a few more minutes. Add the water, turn the heat up to med. high and bring to a boil then turn the heat to low and simmer with a lid on for 35 to 40 minutes until the celery root is easily pierced with a fork. Add the coconut milk.

Puree the soup either in a blender or processor WORKING IN SMALL BATCHES SO AS NOT TO HAVE A HOT EXPLOSION! or puree it right in the pot with a stick (or immersion) blender (my favorite way to do it).

With the pureed soup back in the pot stir in the salt and pepper. If the soup is thicker than you like you can add more water at this point. Then, either add the parsley to the soup or use it to garnish each serving. I prefer the garnishing.
