Creamy horseradish soup | Vegetarian

April 6, 2023

Creamy horseradish soup is a delicious dish that's perfect for Easter but can be enjoyed any time of the year. I definitely recommend making it more often than once a year :) This creamy soup is surprisingly easy to prepare and has a unique flavour. The base of the soup is a delicate cream made from white vegetables, seasoned with a pinch of marjoram. Freshly grated horseradish adds spiciness and enhances the overall taste of the soup. It truly transforms the soup and gives it a whole new character!

Creamy horseradish soup - ingredients

Making horseradish soup is simple and requires only a handful of ingredients. You'll need root vegetables such as parsnip, celeriac, and potatoes, as well as onion, broth and, of course the most important one - horseradish root.

When adding the horseradish, it's best to do so gradually, adjusting the spiciness of the soup to your liking. Keep in mind that the spiciness of the horseradish can vary depending on the manufacturer and the percentage of horseradish content, especially if you're using jarred horseradish. Freshly grated horseradish is likely to be spicier, so be sure to taste the soup as you season it.

Toppings for horseradish soup:

There are many toppings that can take your creamy horseradish soup to the next level. Here are a few options I recommend:

hard-boiled egg halves

fried quail egg (I like to add this!)

cress, especially if the soup is being served for Easter lunch or dinner

crispy croutons for a satisfying crunch

fresh herbs like dill or thyme for an extra burst of flavour
