Here I show you my kohlrabi soup recipe.

Kohlrabi is a wonderful vegetable and is usually available all year round.

The kohlrabi season for domestic produce is from April to June (greenhouse kohlrabi) and from May to November (outdoor kohlrabi).

Kohlrabi has a sweet and nutty aroma and tastes less like cabbage.

Shopping tip:

Buy kohlrabi with fresh leaves, you can also put them in a salad or use them to prepare and decorate the soup.

There is already a separate recipe for kohlrabi chips.

I wish you good luck!

Equipment

Instruction

Preparation step 1

Prepare kohlrabi

Cut the kohlrabi just below the green to create a lid.

Scoop out the bulbs with a melon baller, leaving a thick edge.

I usually hollow out two kohlrabi and use a third peeled kohlrabi for the soup.

Preparation step 2

Make soup

Sauté the kohlrabi pieces that have been cut out, the chopped potatoes and the diced shallots in the butter for 10-15 minutes until colourless.

Preparation step 3

Cook soup

Deglaze with the white wine and add the vegetable broth.

Bring the soup to the boil, then slowly pour the cream into the boiling soup.

Note: The cream cannot flocculate when made this way!

Season the soup with salt, pepper and nutmeg and let it simmer gently for another 5 minutes.

Preparation step 4

Mix up

Mix up the kohlrabi soup with a hand blender, either strain it or leave it with the fiber.

Optionally refine the soup with truffle oil.

Finally mix with the cold butter until fluffy.

The kohlrabi soup is ready to serve.

Preparation step 5

Bread cubes

Optionally, you can serve the soup with toasted bread cubes.

Preparation step 6

Serve

Arrange the soup on plates or in the hollowed-out kohlrabi and serve.
