Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat half the oil in a large saucepan over a medium-low heat. Sweat the onion, celery and garlic with the pan partially covered by the lid for 15 mins, until softened. Tip in the celeriac and pour over the stock. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15-20 mins, until the celeriac is tender. Remove from the heat, stir in the nutmeg, crème fraîche and some seasoning. Blitz with a hand blender or liquidise until smooth.

Step 2

Meanwhile, heat a small frying pan over a medium heat. Add the remaining oil, the breadcrumbs and the chopped hazelnuts until toasted and golden brown. Put in a bowl, stir in the chives and season. Ladle the soup into bowls and spoon over the hazelnuts to serve.
