My husband absolutely LOVED this soup! I had purchased some celeriac and came across this recipe by using the "ingredient search" function. What luck! This was an easy, tasty and unique approach to a classic soup. I was sceptical at first about adding red wine, but the flavor it added was rich and hearty. I didn't have any beef stock on hand, so I used 3 cups of chicken broth, 1 cup of water and 2 beef bullion cubes. It turned out fine, though perhaps a little salty. I'll try using beef broth (or just one bullion cube) next time. I used Gruyere to melt atop the soup, which melts nicely and isn't a strong as "Swiss" cheese.

Recipe submitter popping in to say, fresh fennel would change the flavor quite a bit but would probably be a great addition. Might add to immune boosting too, same with anything in the onion/garlic family. Celery root is a big round ugly lumpy beige root, usually about the size of a grapefruit. It's a specialty veg, might have to ask your store to order. Can be kind of expensive -- I usually only buy it for holidays -- but it's a nice addition to soups and mashes.

I love this soup and the celeriac really makes it something different! I use only beef broth and put fresh parsley in. I also cut the onions into long thin strips before sauteing which gives the soup a great texture! This has become my standard soup to make when someone's sick, since the garlic (I put a whole head in) and onions make great immune boosters!

This was good. Well seasoned. Unfortunately, I made a special trip to a grocery store 20 minutes away to buy celeriac and when I got home I found out it was fennel. Oh well. I was disappointed but made due. I just chopped some celery fine and added it with the onions. I don't know what celeriac would add to this soup because it was good without it. This was not too salty, not too winey, just right. You'll have to cook the onions a long time to get them right (about a half hour) but that's important. The roasted garlic butter was a great touch.
