This celeriac soup with pearl barley is naturally vegan, super healthy and delicious recipe with wonderful earthy flavours.
While celeriac might not be the most popular vegetable out there, it definitely deserves to be more mainstream.
Even though raw celeriac has a nutty flavour, it becomes slightly sweet when cooked, which makes it ideal for both creamy and chunky soups.

I especially love making soups because they can usually be cooked up in a single pot – making prep and clean-up a breeze. (For more one-pot vegan recipes, be sure to grab a copy of this free printable recipe book!)
As far as taste goes it has a slight nutty celery taste, with a texture similar to parsnip.
Celeriac is very low in calories, high in vitamin C (in fact it contains twice the vitamin C of celery), high in fiber and vitamin B6.
This velvety celeriac soup is simply delicious. Creamy and delicious – this soup has a beautiful, slightly nutty celery flavor. Yum!
But the other day I was at the supermarket and saw an abundance of celeriac and finally decided it was time to overlook its appearance and give it a try.
