Warm oil in a pot over medium heat. Add onion and cook until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and celery and cook for another 2 minutes. Stir in kohlrabi and bay leaf and cook for 4 minutes. Gradually add water and milk, stirring to combine. Stir in chicken bouillon granules.

Bring the soup to a boil over medium heat, stirring often to keep the milk from frothing too much. Lower the heat and partially cover the pot. Simmer until the kohlrabi is very soft, about 30 minutes. Take the soup off the heat; remove and discard the bay leaf.

Fill the blender halfway with soup. Cover and hold the lid down with a potholder; pulse a few times, then blend. Pour into a pot. Repeat with the remaining soup. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
