Soup puree of broccoli, celery root and salad greens
6 servings
35 minutes
This delicate and refined broccoli, celery root, and salad greens purée soup is a true embodiment of French culinary elegance. Light, rich in vitamins, and with a velvety texture, it brings a sense of freshness and harmony of flavors. Broccoli adds a light nutty note, celery contributes subtle sweetness, while the mix of greens gives an expressive, slightly spicy touch. Historically, such cream soups emerged in France as a way to highlight the natural taste of ingredients and create a tender, warming consistency. It is perfect as a light main dish or an exquisite starter for lunch. Served with cream or goat cheese, it creates the ideal combination of creamy softness and aromatic greens. This soup is gastronomic poetry that offers a moment of true enjoyment.
