I wanted to use celery in a recipe, so i searched on vegweb and found this recipe: Cream of Celery Soup
In the recipe it says to refrigerate overnight, but I'm waaayyy too lazy to do that, so i just skipped that part and continued to next point ^.^ It worked out well anyway =D Also i don't have parsley atm so i used a bit of leeks instead but i guess you can just skip it completely xD i also was using random amount of potions of the different ingredients xD (i wanted to make for 1-2 persons xD)
Well here's the recipe copy-pasted from vegweb where all credits goes to the author:
Cream of Celery Soup
Ingredients
1 small onion, chopped (i used 0,5)
olive oil, as needed
1 bunch celery, chopped (i used 1,5 stalks)
4 cups water + 1 veggie bouillon cube (i used 3 dl water or so)
2 medium potatoes, peeled and chopped (i used 2 small potatoes)
1 bunch fresh parsley, divided (i used 5 cm of leeks)
2 cups nondairy milk (I use soy) (i used random amount without measuring, just poured in)
salt and pepper, to taste (didnt add this xD)
Directions:
1. In stock pot, add onion and sauté in a few tablespoons olive oil until soft. Add celery (including leaves) and sauté for a few minutes more.
2. Add water, veggie bouillon, potatoes, and approximately a dozen whole parsley sprigs. Simmer covered for about 1 hour.
3. Let cool and refrigerate overnight. To finish soup, remove parsley sprigs and liquefy in food processor. Add milk and reheat slowly being careful not to boil, as it will separate the milk.
4. Add fresh chopped parsley, salt and pepper to taste. Add more diced celery if you prefer more texture.
This soup is surprisingly flavorful for being so simple. If you find you have a bunch of celery leftover from another recipe, this is great use for it. The more celery you use in this soup the more celery flavor you will get. You can make this soup without it resting overnight but the flavor will be weak. Pairs nicely with crusty bread.
Serves: 4, Preparation time: 1 day
I will definitely make this again! =D
