Preparation
- Step 1
In a 4-quart saucepan, melt butter. Add leeks, celery and salt. Cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, quarter celery root and thickly peel, using a knife. Cut into 1-inch dice. Add celery root, potato, 6 cups water, ham bone and herb bundle to pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until potato is tender, about 30 minutes.
- Step 2
Discard herb bundle. Remove ham bone, remove meat from bone, chop meat and return meat to soup. Using an immersion blender, purée soup. Add cream, if desired, and heat. Taste and add salt if needed. Ladle soup into bowls and season with white pepper. Garnish with herbs, and serve.

People are afraid of the look of celery roots. Sad. they should see Melissa's video on how to "tame" them. They are sadly neglected, but taste so great. https://body-change.today/recipes/1015527-celery-root-salad-with-arugula-and-pecans?action=click&module=Local</a>%20Search%20Recipe%20Card&pgType=search&rank=2</p><div class="noteactions_noteActions__VlyP0">
