I made this in honor of my mother, who made cream of celery soup when I was a child. This recipe is delish. I watched a YouTube by a French chef who rubbed the peeled celeriac with lemon juice to keep it white and then submerged them in water until the cubes are ready for cooking. I dried them in a towel. You need a really sharp kitchen knife--and some elbow grease! Tomorrow I'm going to add a little cubed ham to my bowl, which my mother did. Thank you for this recipe.
