Savoury Potato Kugel

Now some of you are surely already familiar with this term but I had no idea what “kugel” was other than “something with noodles”. As it turns out, kugel is a traditional Jewish dessert or side-dish – like a sweet quiche or a strata – typically made with potatoes or noodles as well as eggs, milk and cottage cheese or, sometimes, sour cream.

In addition to plans for adding it to my up-coming Solstice feast, I thought that Celeriac would lend a little extra complexity to a traditional leek and potato soup. Of course, my potato soup isn’t entirely traditional. In addition to the celeriac, I’ve also included white beans, cauliflower, and a pinch of cayenne, to make a sturdy, stick-to-your-ribs meal that’s perfect for December’s blessedly (cursedly?) cold winter days.
