Ingredients

3 cups milk
3 cups water
1 tablespoon salt
5 tablespoons butter
2 1⁄2 pounds celeriac
1 potato, russet
  chives
1 onion

Instructions

Bring milk, water, and salt to a boil in a heavy, large saucepan over high heat. Add celery root cubes, potato cubes, and onion quarters; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 min.

To puree, drain vegtables, discarding cooking liquid. Or, if using a blender, reserve a little of the cooking liquid. Combine vegetables and butter in food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with fresh chopped chives. Serve warm.
