Ingredients
- a knob of butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- 400g peeled celeriac, in small chunks
- 800ml hot chicken or vegetable stock
- 400g frozen peas
- a few slices Jamón Ibérico or other cured ham, shredded

Step by step
Make the soup a day ahead; reheat to serve
-
Heat the butter in a medium pan; cook the onion until soft. Add the celeriac chunks and stock. Bring to the boil and simmer, partly covered, for 15 minutes. Add the peas and simmer for 5 minutes.

Liquidise the soup, return to the pan, reheat and season – add a little water if it’s too thick. Serve in small cups, topped with ham, a drizzle of oil and some freshly ground black pepper.
