Frequently asked questions

Which roots are suitable?
The original uses mixed root vegetables; carrot, parsley root and celeriac are a natural selection that give a mild, faintly sweet soup.
Do I need a thickening?
No. The soup becomes thick from the puréed roots themselves, and needs no separate roux the way many of the other soups in the book do.
