A Soup of Bacon and Celeriac

This is a creamy, comforting soup that tastes mildly of celery with smoky bacon background notes and an additional flavour boost from grainy mustard.

I changed the cooking method slightly as I didn’t want to purée the bacon so cooked that first, removed it and most of the drippings from the pot before adding the onions and then used it as a garnish. Otherwise, I didn’t stray (too much) from the recipe.

Simple, delicious and perfect for a cold winter’s day served with a rustic hazelnut-currant bread and warm kale salad.
