This incredibly creamy celeriac soup with apples is the best winter comfort food! It is healthy, delicious, warming, and quickly prepared.
Celeriac, also known as celery root, is an overlooked root vegetable that has a celery-like flavor, but is much more earthy. It is harvested during the winter months and is available as a typical storage vegetable throughout the year.
The earthy and fragrant aroma, which is due to the high content of essential oils, is especially welcome in warming meals. Celeriac can be used in many recipes such as soups, purées, or in raw celery root salad.
I’ll show you how to whip up a particularly delicious, creamy, and vegan celery root and apple soup. The recipe is simple and quick to prepare. Especially on cold days, this low-calorie soup warms you up from the inside and provides you with valuable vitamins and minerals.
The celeriac makes for an earthy flavor and creamy texture, while the apples add a sweet, fruity, and at the same time slightly sour note to this soup.
Just try it out and see for yourself how incredibly delicious a bowl of this celeriac soup recipe tastes. You can serve it as an appetizer or as a light meal served with crusty bread.

Ingredients
- Celeriac | Celery Root: The main ingredient! It is best to use organic quality.
- Apples: Use a sour-sweet apple variety (e.g. Braeburn). The apples provide a particularly sweet, fruity, and at the same time slightly acidic flavor.
- Onion & Garlic: A must for more flavor.
- Vegetable Broth: This is what the vegetables are cooked in! The higher quality the vegetable broth is, the better the soup tastes. 😉
- Olive Oil, Salt, Black Pepper: For roasting & seasoning.
See recipe card for quantities.
How To Make
- Heat a large pot with oil. Sauté the minced onion and garlic for 3 minutes.
- Add cubed celeriac and apples, sauté for another 3 minutes.
- Deglaze with vegetable broth, bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the celeriac is tender. Stir occasionally.
- Blend the soup in a high-speed blender, or with a hand blender, until creamy. → Depending on how creamy/liquid you like your soup, add a little more water or vegetable broth.
- Return soup to the pot, season to taste with salt and pepper. → Optional: Decorate the soup with chopped parsley, chives, or croutons.
Variations
- Pear – Instead of apples, use pears. Or use a mix of 1 apple and 1 pear!
- Herbs – If you like, add some dried or fresh thyme while cooking.
- Cream – The soup is already very creamy. Still, if you like, you can add some dairy-free cream at the end.
