Bright purple soup

I made some celeriac soup yesterday, and in the fridge I have a number of red mooli that needs eating up. It is quite a bland vegetable so I thought I would add it to the soup and perhaps it would come out a pleasant shade of pink/pale beetroot. Instead it is bright purple and we had some yesterday, but honestly the purple put my off - stupid really. I have enough for today, but I might just freeze it and use it when I’m desperate.

I’ve planned a parsnip and pear soup one lunch next week.

I buy from oddbox which is a company that rescues vegetables that would otherwise be thrown away. So I get as an example next week. Carrots, aubergines cabbage, mooli (I’m a bit up to my eyeballs in mooli), lettuce, mushrooms, tomatoes, apples, kiwi, clementines, potatoes, can’t remember offhand what else.

Small box £12.99

They deliver a lot of celeriac throughout the winter though. The only thing is that you can’t choose, but you do get the satisfaction that you are preventing vegetables from being trashed.

I can often find celeriac in Sainsbury's. Unfortunately always shrink wrapped but I love it so bite the bullet smile

I buy mooli occasionally from Ocado and make Korean kimchi with it. We had it at the weekend with Gochujang chicken. It tasted great
