Ingredients

1 Stick unsalted butter
1 cup large diced Spanish onion
2 lbs celery root, peeled and medium diced

Now add the apple cider to the pot, bring the liquid to a just a simmer, cover the pot and lower the heat to your lowest setting so the pot barely simmers for 30-40 minutes. Stir the contents on occasion making sure nothing burns and the adding just a few tablespoons of more apple cider if needed.

After 30 to 40 minutes everything should be extremely soft and then add the cream, stir in gently and transfer to a food processor and pulse until just combined (about 3 pulses). Transfer to a serving bowl and enjoy.
