This creamy Celery Root and White Bean Soup is the perfect antidote to a chilly evening, offering a velvety texture and an earthy, comforting flavor. The addition of crispy capers and a bright herb oil elevates this simple dish, making it both hearty and elegantly delicious. For the smoothest texture, we recommend using a blender, but a food processor will also work.
