  Used onion instead of shallots. Tasted good. But resembled baby food- didn't look particularly appetising.

  Fantastic Soup! My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed this! I do agree that it looks a little like baby food but the taste makes up for the appearance! Simple... but nice to have a soup thats a little bit different! Very easy to make although the celeriac takes a bit of time to chop up! We will be having this as a starter when we have guests over later in the week as it's so good - and i will sprinkle a little parsley on top to make it look a little nicer!

  this was unusual, festive and really tasty. I believe it tasted better when reheated on the second day - the shallots and ginger came through more. Was tempted to avoid the sieving bit but glad I did in the end as it was nice and smooth. Yes the colour isn't great, but with parsley and pepper on top it tastes amazing!

  Perfect way to use celeriac. I add a little more ginger and only 3 pears. Really warming soup. Lovely.

  Generally good but it does have a strong, spicy scent not everyone could enjoy. Definitely an original combo of tastes.

  Am I right in thinking this means 800g of celeriac before peeling, so according to the GoodFood prep guide, around 600g actually goes in the pot?
