Celery soup

I’d bought a bag of celery stalks that were just wilting away on the fridge and the simplest solution to this problem was to blitz them. I knocked up this simple quick soup that will form my work lunches a couple of days this week. It’s also soup-er healthy as the old adage that you burn more calories eating celery than are in it holds true.

 

What you will need

150g celery

½ an onion

1 small potato

2 cloves garlic

¼ tea spoon ground cinnamon

½ tea spoon cayenne pepper

½ tea spoon white pepper

750ml vegetable stock

 

Firstly chop the onions, celery and garlic and soften in some olive oil for 5 minutes.

 

Next, peel and cube the potato. Rinse off and starch and set aside.
 

Add all the spices and some salt and cook for 30 seconds to release the flavour.

 

Finally add the vegetable stock and  cubed potato and simmer for 15-20 minutes before liquidising.

 

Serve, with garnished with crème fraiche or yoghurt.
