CELERY-LEEK SOUP WITH POTATO AND PARSLEY
This celery-forward soup is in essence a potato-leek soup that substitutes most of the potatoes with brighter celery, and skips the vast quantities of cream in the original, resulting in a lighter flavor and texture. Woodsy herbs like thyme and bay leaves, and fresh, raw parsley give the soup its intensely green, almost grassy taste. It's worth trying the soup without dairy, then admiring the transformative effect of a splash of crème fraîche or cream, which subdues the louder celery notes.

Steps:
- In a large pot, heat the 1/4 cup oil over medium. Add the leeks and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until meltingly tender, about 7 minutes.
- Add the celery, potato, bay leaves and thyme, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the wine to deglaze, then cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is almost dry, about 3 minutes.
- Add the stock and bring to boil over high. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until all the vegetables are fully tender and soft, about 20 minutes. Discard the bay leaves, then stir in 1 cup parsley leaves.
- Working in two or three batches, transfer the soup to a blender and purée until smooth. (It's almost always beneficial to let the soup blend for another minute or two past what seems necessary to emulsify as much as possible.) Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Transfer to bowls. Drizzle with olive oil; garnish with reserved celery leaves and parsley, and sprinkle with pepper. Serve with a dollop of crème fraîche or a drizzle of heavy cream.
CELERY ROOT AND LEEK SOUP WITH SAGE OIL
Celery root is a great winter vegetable. Here, it's combined with interesting ingredients to make a warming winter soup. An immersion blender is perfect when dealing with hot liquids-and it cuts the clean up time down so there's more time to enjoy this delectable dish. The equipment recommendations expressed in the Kitchen Corner department are those solely of Melissa Clark.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the leeks and celery; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce the heat, to prevent the vegetables from browning.
- While the leeks are cooking, start cleaning and chopping the celery root and potatoes. Once the leeks are softened and translucent, add the chopped garlic and a pinch of salt.
- Finish cleaning the celery root and potatoes. Cut the vegetables into large, equally sized chunks.
- Add the cleaned celery root and potato chunks, and 10 cups of water to the pot, enough to cover the vegetables by 1 inch. Raise the heat to high. Tie the thyme and sage together and drop into the pot (reserve the extra sage leaves for the oil). Add freshly ground black pepper, to taste. Bring everything to a boil; reduce immediately to medium-low heat and simmer until all the vegetables are very tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Remove and discard the herb bunch. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Add water to adjust the consistency, if necessary.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. In a medium skillet, warm the oil over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and cook until they turn deep green, 10 to 15 seconds. Remove from the heat.
- Ladle the soup into warm bowls. Drizzle sage oil over the soup and nestle a few of the sage leaves on top. Serve with optional wedges of lemon. Serve immediately

CREAMY LEEK SOUP

- Cook leeks, onion, carrot, celery, salt, and pepper in 4 tablespoons butter in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Peel potato and cut into 1/2-inch cubes, then add to onion mixture along with wine, stock, water, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Stir in parsley and simmer soup, uncovered, 5 minutes. Discard bay leaf and keep soup at a bare simmer.
- Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a 1-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, then add flour and cook roux, whisking, until golden, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add 2 cups simmering stock (from soup), whisking vigorously (mixture will be thick), then whisk mixture into remaining soup and return to a simmer, whisking.
- Blend soup in 4 batches in a blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids), about 1 minute per batch, transferring to a 3- to 4-quart saucepan. Reheat if necessary, then season with salt and pepper.
