winter soup


INGREDIENTS for a Winterday:

*one snowfall with cold temps staying for three days
*one lovely large celery root, peeled and chopped (celery stalk for reference)
*one onion also peeled and chopped
*four cups chicken broth
*two Tablespoons of Goose fat
Saute celery root and onion in goose fat a few minutes. Add chicken broth and let simmer till celery is cooked down to a soft state. Next use a puree mixer, blender to puree the celery to a smooth texture. I can also suggest using a potato masher for a stockier texture. You may want to top with creme fraiche, yogurt or sour cream.

This can also be made in the slow cooker. Throw in your ingredients and go. Depending on how long you are away will determine the temperature of the cooker. Low for all day, high for half day. Pick up some good bread at the bakery or store, serve with salad and results are a satisfying meal.
