PUREED VEGETABLE SOUPS

In a food processor puree the celery root or the Jerusalem artichokes with the butter until the mixture is smooth and stir the mixture into the potatoes. Using the coarse side of a grater shred the carrots into the bowl and combine the mixture well, adding salt and pepper to taste and enough of the reserved cooking liquid to achieve the desired consistency.

PUREE OF THREE ROOT VEGETABLES
I LOVE this dish. Healthy comfort food...go figure. It's the texture variations that make this dish so special. If you like, substitute your own favorite root vegetables. Celery root, turnips, rutabagas or Jerusalem artichokes all work deliciously. Double the butter if you'd like a richer, smoother puree.

PUREED MIXED VEGETABLE SOUP
The onion can be substituted with one leek or two large shallots (this is true for the variations, too) and the spinach with other leafy greens, such as chard, kale, watercress, or sorrel. For a soup with brighter color, the leafy greens are added in the last five minutes of cooking, just so they are given a chance to wilt.
