Ingredients for this soup can be found commonly in the hills of Emilia-Romagna where celery, mushrooms and truffles thrive and pork is king. There it would be called minestra del sedano-rapa and in keeping with the Italian model of cooking a few simple but high quality ingredients produce the best flavors.
Instructions
- 1In a large pan fry Proscuitto until crisp in 2 tablespoons olive oil. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- 2In the same pan, over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons olive oil, the celeriac and onions, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir and cook 15 minutes. Add broth. Bring to a boil then reduce and simmer 30-40 minutes or until completely soft.
