Water can be used for a lighter flavor, or homemade stock for a healthier option.

Peel and dice the celeriac into small cubes.

Peel and slice the carrots into rounds.

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until shimmering.

Add diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the diced celeriac and carrots to the pot, stirring to coat in oil.

Pour in 1 cup of water and add additional lemon juice to prevent celeriac from browning.

Season with salt and black pepper to taste (not explicitly mentioned in the description).

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and reduce heat to low.

Cook for 30-40 minutes until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat and garnish with lemon and dill before serving.
