White Velvet Soup (Cooking Light)
4 cups (1/4-inch) diced peeled celeriac (celery root; about 1 1/4 pounds)
4 cups (1/4-inch) diced peeled Yukon Gold potato, (about 1 1/4 pounds)
3 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
2 cups water
2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
4 large garlic cloves, chopped
1/3 cup white wine
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup 2% reduced-fat milk
1 tablespoon extravirgin olive oil
3 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions

Combine first 6 ingredients in a large stockpot; bring to a boil. Partially cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Place half of potato mixture in a blender; process until smooth. Repeat with remaining potato mixture.

Return pureed potato mixture to pan; stir in wine and salt. Cook puree over medium heat for 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Remove soup from heat, and stir in milk.

Divide soup evenly among 6 bowls; drizzle oil evenly over soup. Sprinkle with onions.

Serves 6.
