  • about 250ml/1cup Arla lactofree  full fat milk
  • Coeliacs please use gluten free ingredients

 

  • Heat the oil in a pan over medium, add the celeriac and onions and cook gently until softened but not brown. Stir  in the stock and simmer for about 25 minutes. Add the watercress and season with little salt pepper and nutmeg. Let the soup cool and then liquidize until smooth with the milk.
