Ingredients

  • medium celery stalks coarsely chopped
  • teaspoon pepper white
  • cups half and half 
  • 4.3 cups rutabaga peeled coarsely chopped
  • 2.5 teaspoons paprika smoked
  • tablespoons butter unsalted
  • quart vegetable broth low-sodium
  • medium onion yellow coarsely chopped

Equipment

  • pot
  • blender

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Once butter foams, add onion and celery, and season generously with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender but not browned, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add rutabaga and broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until rutabaga is tender when pierced with a fork, about 30 minutes.
  3. Add half-and-half, paprika, and white pepper and stir to combine.Allow soup to cool slightly, then purée in a blender until smooth. (You will have to do this in batches.) Taste and season with more salt and white pepper as needed.Beverage pairing: Royal Oak Pale Ale, England. Soft bubbles make for a nice contrast with a creamy bisque, while the modestly sweet malt of an ale will not offend the rutabaga. A light hoppy character in the beer adds complexity to the pairing without bringing in bitterness.
