Introduction

Finding a way to use up a vegetable I don't prefer as a 'stand alone' item, I came up with this soup. It's delicious.

Ingredients

Serves: 4

  • 1 bunch celery (dark leaves removed)
  • 2 medium potatoes (peeled and quartered)
  • 1 onion (skinned, quartered)
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 litre chicken stock (salt reduced)
  • 250 millilitres cream
  • salt (seasoning to taste)
  • pepper (seasoning to taste)

Method

Celery Soup is a community recipe submitted by Coby and has not been tested by Nigella.com so we are not able to answer questions regarding this recipe.

  1. Cut the celery in large dice. Put the celery and onion in a food processor and process until well chopped. You want to ensure there aren't any stringy bits in the finished soup.
  2. In a large pot, heat oil and add pulverised celery and onion, saute for a few minutes until celery is bright green. Add the potato, stock and seasonings.
  3. Bring to boil, reduce heat to simmer, and cook for about 20 minutes or until potato is breaking up. Using a stab blender or goblet blender, puree the soup until smooth. Return to pot, add cream and heat, but do not boil, taste and adjust seasonings in need.

  • This is a great recipe - quick and simple and very tasty. It's still very tasty without adding cream and depends on your preference. Thanks for adding this recipe.

  • Tried this in my new Vitamix - Gorgeous it was too! I substituted the cream for milk to save a few calories but still lovely.

  • Very simple to make and delicious. I substituted the potatoes for half a celeriac which I had hanging about in the fridge.
