Combine the celery root cubes, chicken broth, and water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook until the celery root is completely tender and a fork slides through with no resistance, about 20 minutes.

Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid, then drain the celery root. Transfer the celery root to a blender or food processor along with the 2 tbsp olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Add 1/4 cup of the reserved cooking liquid and blend on high until completely smooth, about 1–2 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed. Add more reserved liquid a tablespoon at a time if the puree is too thick to move freely in the blender. Taste and adjust salt.
