Preparation
- Step 1
In a large kettle, heat the stock to simmering over medium heat. Add the celery root and Jerusalem artichokes and cook until soft, about 15 minutes.
- Step 2
Meanwhile, melt two tablespoons of butter in a small skillet. Toss the sorrel in the butter just to coat. Remove from the heat and reserve.
- Step 3
Using a serrated knife, remove the crusts from the bread and cut into one-quarter-inch cubes. Melt the remaining butter in a small skillet over high heat and toss the cubes in the butter and toast until golden, about three minutes. Reserve.
- Step 4
With a slotted spoon, remove the vegetables from the stock and place them in the bowl of a food processor and puree until smooth. Return the puree to the stock and season with salt and pepper.
- Step 5
Bring the soup to a boil and stir in the cream. When the soup is steaming, add the sorrel and ladle into hot soup plates and sprinkle with the croutons and chervil.
