This vegan celeriac and carrot soup combines fresh vegetables, apple and herbs for a cozy and warming lunch or light dinner. Perfect for the fall and winter months and always a crowd-pleaser with kids and adults alike!

Celeriac (also known as celery root) often feels a little neglected as a winter vegetable, perhaps because it isn't the prettiest to look at! It's full of flavor though, and makes soup quite thick and hearty.

This vegan celeriac carrot soup has a hint of sweetness from apple, a herby hum and is very delicious! It uses basic affordable ingredients, and comes together so easily on the stovetop.

Love soups and looking for more ideas? Perhaps you may like to see my parsnip and cauliflower soup, apple celery soup and sweet potato corn chowder. Both so good for lunch on a chilly winter day!

⭐ Why this recipe is so good

Thick and creamy. Although this is a dairy free soup, and we don't use coconut milk either, the celeriac feels quite creamy once blended.

Basic ingredients. Packed with vegetables, a little fruit and herbs that are all easy to find in the store.

Simple recipe. Just a few steps to make this homemade carrot and celeriac soup, and all are easy to do.

🍎 Ingredients

labelled ingredients to make vegan celeriac and carrot soup including carrots, apple and vegetable stock.

All the ingredients and their quantities are set out in the recipe card below.

The main ingredients you will need are:

  • Celeriac - also known as celery root, this is the ugly vegetable of the aisle at the store! Peel well and slice off any hard bits.
  • Carrots - use fresh produce, and peel if necessary.
  • Apples - personally I find that red apples work better for soup, as they have more sweetness.
  • Vegetable stock - my low histamine readers will want to check ingredients if using a store-bought stock (homemade tends to be better).

📖 Variations to the recipe

Add another apple. If you like a lot of sweetness, then another apple will work well.

Adjust the amount of stock used. This makes a fairly thick soup, so add another half or full cup of stock if you prefer a looser consistency.

🔪 Step by step instructions

Just a few steps to make your vegan celeriac and carrot soup and all are easy to do:

Step 1

Dice the onion, celeriac and carrots, and mince or finely dice the garlic (image 1).

Step 2

Heat about 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot and add the onions and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the diced celeriac, carrots, apple and herbs to the pot and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally (image 2).

Step 3

Pour the vegetable stock, apple cider vinegar and salt into the pot. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat. Cook on a very light simmer for 25-30 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the bay leaf, then use an immersion blender to blend the soup. Add more stock or water to thin, if required, to taste preference.

Ladle into your bowls and enjoy!

💭 Recipe tips and notes

  • Peel the celeriac. Remove the hard base and then peel off the hard outer layer.
  • Dice the apple just before adding to the pot. It will brown quickly, so prepare just before cooking.
  • Don't forget to remove the bay leaf! So easy to forget . . .
  • Adjust the consistency. Add more vegetable stock (or water) if you prefer a looser consistency for your soup.

Hi, I’m Claire. After a diagnosis of MCAS I began to follow a low histamine diet, which has helped me manage my symptoms. Here I hope to show that a restrictive diet can still be full of flavourful meals, and help you enjoy being creative in the kitchen.
