Servings: persons

2 tablespoons of fat, oil, bacon lard, clarified butter. All work well
2 bunches celery
2 celeriac roots (celery root)
1 clove of garlic
1 tablespoon apple cider or white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon salt (this is up to you how much you use.)
2 quarts water or chicken stock
4 tablespoons heavy cream
4 ounces plain Icelandic yogurt or your favorite plain yogurt
1 green chili
2 green onions
1 piece Zweiback toast or your favorite style of crouton

1
Clean and wash vegetables. Roughly chop celery and cherry root. Mince garlic clove.
2
Heat oil in appropriately sized pot until almost smoking. Add onions and celery. Reduce heat. Stir. Pop lid on top to allow vegetables to sweat.
3
Once vegetables begin to change appearance and look more opaque, sprinkle with a bit of salt. Add celery root and garlic. Then add vinegar and enough water or stock to cover vegetables.
4
Bring to simmer and allow to cook until vegetables are tender. Expect anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on how roughly you chopped your vegetables.
5
Allow soup to cool for at least 10 minutes before blending. (No burns allowed here or horrible messes to clean up because I created a vacuum in my blender and pressure blew the cover and soup now drips from my cabinets. Been there, done both. Learn from my mistakes, please. I beg you.)
6
While soup is cooking, chop chilies and scallions and mix with yogurt. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use.
7
Blend until silky smooth. Stir in heavy cream. Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking.
8
Pour soup into heated bowl, dollop with some yogurt, and place your Zweiback on top. Time to eat.
