How to cook it
-
Melt the butter in a large pot and cook the leeks, carrots, and celery root over medium heat for 8 minutes, until softened.
-
Add the potatoes and vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 25 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
-
Puree about half the soup directly in the pot with an immersion blender, leaving the rest chunky.
-
Stir in the cream and nutmeg and warm through for 2 minutes.
-
Season with the salt and pepper, ladle into bowls, and scatter the chives over the top; this meatless version is one of Germany's most common everyday vegetarian dinners.
