Ingredients

Soup

600 g celeriac
1/2 cups olive oil
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 leek, thinly sliced
20 g fresh thyme, finely chopped
4 cups vegetable broth
4 bay leaves
460 g white beans, drained and rinsed
75 g orzo
10 g parsley, finely chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Start by peeling the celeriac and cutting it into cubes.
Heat a pot with olive oil to medium heat. Add leek and garlic and cook until fragrant.
Add the celeriac, bay leaves and thyme and continue to cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour over vegetable broth along with the beans. Give a good stir before lowering the temperature and leave to simmer covered.
Once the celeriac is almost tender, about 25 minutes, pour in the orzo and leave to simmer for another 15 minutes, covered, or until the orzo is “al dente”.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with parsley before serving.
