Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and diced celery, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant. (Total time: ~7 minutes)

02

Step

Introduce the kohlrabi cubes and bay leaf to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 4 minutes to allow the kohlrabi to develop a slight sear. (Total time: ~11 minutes)

03

Step

Slowly pour in the water and milk, stirring to combine. Incorporate the chicken bouillon granules, ensuring they dissolve completely. (Total time: ~12 minutes)

04

Step

Bring the soup to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching or excessive frothing of the milk. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, partially cover the pot, and simmer for approximately 30 minutes, or until the kohlrabi is very tender. (Total time: ~42 minutes)

05

Step

Remove the pot from the heat. Carefully remove and discard the bay leaf.

06

Step

Working in batches, fill a blender (or use an immersion blender) halfway with the soup. If using a standard blender, secure the lid tightly and pulse a few times before blending on high speed until completely smooth. Pour the blended soup into a clean pot. Repeat with the remaining soup.

07

Step

Return the soup to the stove and gently reheat until warmed through. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.

For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken stock instead of water and bouillon.
A touch of nutmeg or a squeeze of lemon juice can brighten the soup's flavor profile.
Garnish with fresh herbs like chives or parsley for added visual appeal and freshness.
For a vegan option, substitute the milk with cashew or almond milk and the chicken bouillon with vegetable bouillon.
The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
