My family is a big lover of soups. Because of that, I’m making them regularly in a lot of variations. If you are also a soup lover, then check also how I’m making a super simple and Delicious Tomato Soup or take a look at our recent Vegetarian Beet Soup (so-called Ukrainian Borscht Soup).

As I said, for today, I decided to go with something super healthy.

We all know about the nutritional benefits of celery roots and leek, so I picked them up for today’s recipe. The celery root is loaded with vitamins like B6, K, and C. Besides that, it is full of fibers, as well as important minerals and antioxidants.

The second ingredient – leek, is also a good source of vitamins like A, C, K. The leek is also, a good source of iron, and magnesium. It is also full of dietary fiber and does not have a lot of calories. That thing also makes this recipe perfect for those who are on a diet.

Besides its health benefits, it is very delicious. I’m pretty sure that this recipe will be loved by every member of your family.

What I love about this soup is that it is very light. You can eat as much as you want without feeling guilty. Sometimes I can eat 2 bowls at once.

So good it is.

Just follow the step-by-step instructions below to make this delicious soup. It will surely impress all your family, and make them ask for more.

In the end, you get an amazing creamy soup with rich flavor and perfect texture, that is just melting in your mouth.

Quick Note: If you prefer more liquid soups, omit the use of the egg and use only sour cream.

Another bonus for cheese lovers: Pour the soup into a bowl suitable for the oven, add your favorite cheeses on top. In my case, I used mozzarella and pecorino cheese.

After that, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and put the bowl in the oven until the cheese melts.

After that, the soup will be ready to be served on plates. A good idea is to serve near the soup the traditional focaccia Genovese or near a few slices of rosemary parmesan bread.

    I absolutely adored this soup! It was both easy to make and incredibly tasty. As my own twist, I decided to include bacon drippings to add an extra layer of flavor. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
