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.

These two simple ingredients can protect you from heart diseases, stroke, cancer, and even Alzheimer’s.

Best Recipes to Try in The Air Fryer:

  • BBQ Chicken Breast
  • Fried Eggs in Air Fryer
  • Air Fryer Yogurt Cake
  • Stuffed Mushrooms

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

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.
