Celery root soup

Description

Hearty and aromatic soup. This soup is quite an interesting dish. Thanks to the white wine, it acquires a wonderful aroma and excellent, original flavor. Don't worry about adding alcohol to the soup—the alcohol evaporates during cooking, leaving behind only a delicate fragrance. This celery root soup can be enjoyed by both adults and children. Keep in mind that the listed ingredients yield a large quantity of soup, so you may proportionally reduce the amounts. The soup is ready to serve.
