How to Prepare Creamy Celeriac Soup [Vegan]

Add the onions and water to a large pot over medium high heat. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook the onions, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until soft and translucent and sightly golden. The onions will “sweat” their own liquid as they cook down, but if they begin to dry out, turn down the heat and sprinkle with more water. Be patient here, this will take about 15 minutes.
Add the garlic to the onions and cook until fragrant, 1 minute more.
While the onions are cooking, prepare the celeriac root. To do this, cut the gnarled tops and bottoms off so you can set it flat on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut away the rough exterior, exposing the creamy white interior. There will be nooks and crannies that the knife won’t reach. You can remove any hidden dirt with the tip of a vegetable peeler. Then dice the peeled celeriac root into 1” cubes.
Pour the vegetable stock into the pot with the onions, followed by the celeriac and cashews. Cover and simmer until the celeriac is fork tender and the cashews are soft, about 15 minutes.
Transfer the celeriac mixture to a blender container. Add in the nutritional yeast, white pepper, apple cider vinegar and 1 additional teaspoon of salt. Securely attach the lid to the blender container, leaving the small center hole open for steam to escape. (you can cover this with a cloth to prevent spattering) Blend until completely smooth. This takes 2-3 minutes in a Vitamix but may take longer depending on the type of blender you are using. It’s okay to do this in batches too if your blender won’t hold all the liquid at once.
Add the creamy soup back to the pot, to keep warm, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
