Ingredients:
1 Celeriac
1 Apple
1 Bay leaf
2 tbsp Olive oil
900 ml Vegetable stock
Salt & pepper
For the toppings:
60 g Kale leaves
3 Garlic cloves (chopped )
2 tbsp Olive oil

Recipe:
- Peel and chop the celeriac into large chunks, and core and quarter the apple - compost the peels and apple core.
- Add the olive oil, celeriac and apple to a large saucepan and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat. Add the bay leaf and a big pinch of salt and pepper.
