Celery Root and Potato Soup
1 large bulb Celery Root, peeled and large dice
3 Russet Potatoes, peeled and large dice
1 medium White Onion, large dice
1 quart Chicken Stock
1 tsp fresh Thyme
1 tsp Truffle Oil
1 c Heavy Cream
Salt & Pepper, to taste
chopped fresh Chives (garnish)

Prep your celery root, potatoes, and onion. Heat oil in a stock pot and once heated, add the onion dices and sauté until translucent. Add the celery root and potatoes to the pot along with the chicken stock. Bring to a boil and cook until the root and potatoes are tender. Add thyme when the stock begins to boil.

When the root and potatoes are tender, using a ladle, scoop them into a blender and carefully pour in the chicken stock. Add the rest of the ingredients except the chives and pureé.

Pour into bowls, top with chives and enjoy!
