Answer 1

Celeriac and roast hazelnut soup with soda bread focaccia

Ingredients
For the hazelnuts
100g/3½oz fresh hazelnuts, shells removed
For the focaccia
olive oil
450g/1lb plain flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp salt
400ml/14fl oz (approx) buttermilk
pinch Maldon sea salt
For the soup
30g/1oz butter
110g/4oz onions, finely chipped
140g/5oz potatoes, finely
salt and freshly ground black pepper
425g/15oz celeriac, finely diced
1.2 litres/2 pints chicken stock (vegetarians may substitute with vegetable stock or water)
170ml/6fl oz milk
60ml/2fl oz cream (optional)
2 tbsp hazelnuts, toasted, skinned and chopped
fresh flatleaf parsley, chopped, to garnish



Method
1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
2. To prepare the hazelnuts, place the hazelnuts onto a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven for 6-10 minutes, or until the skins have loosened. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Remove the skins by rubbing the nuts in the corner of a tea-towel. If they are not sufficiently toasted, return them to the oven until they become golden brown.
3. Chop the hazelnuts and set aside for garnish.
5. Increase the oven temperature to 230C/450F/Gas 8 for the focaccia.
6. For the focaccia, brush a baking sheet generously with olive oil.
7. Sieve the plain flour and the bicarbonate of soda into a big bowl. Add the salt, and mix with your hands. Make a well in the centre of the flour mix, pour in most of the buttermilk, and with one hand stiff and your fingers spread out like a claw, start mixing in a full circle once the butter milk has gone in.
8. Keep mixing like this until you have a soft dough. Do not knead it but work it very gently to bring it together.
9. Transfer to a floured surface, and roll it out to about 35x20cm/14x8in and transfer it to the oiled tray.
10. Brush the top of the dough with some more oil and sprinkle with a little sea salt. Transfer to the oven and cook for ten minutes. Then turn the oven down to 200C/400F/Gas 6 and cook for a further 8-12 minutes until cooked. When cooked, it should feel firm in the centre and be golden brown.
11. Transfer the focaccia from the oven to a wire rack and cool for a couple of minutes, then cut it into squares to serve.
12. Meanwhile for the soup, melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over a medium heat. When it foams, add the potatoes and onions and toss them in the butter until evenly coated. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper.
13. Cover with a baking paper lid (to keep in the steam) and the saucepan lid, and sweat over a gentle heat for about ten minutes, until the vegetables are soft but not coloured.
14. Remove the paper lid. Add the celeriac and chicken stock, bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes, until the celeriac is soft.
15. Liquidise the soup using a hand blender, adding a little more stock, milk (or cream) to thin to the required consistency. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
16. Serve the soup piping hot in a bowl with a scattering of chopped hazelnuts, and a little chopped parsley to garnish, accompanied by slices of focaccia.

I looked up Rachael Ray and Soda Bread and it brought this up with her picture after it and a magazine. I am not sure it is the one you are looking for or not. There is the link to the website after the recipe to see if it is the one or not. I am sorry if it isn't.
