eleriac is the root of the celery plant and it tastes like a combination of celery and parsley. This subtle and smooth soup is rich tasting while still being low in fat and sodium. It's also a good source of potassium and calcium, so it is a great addition to your diet if you're trying to manage your blood pressure.
