Hi Guys, here is a wonderful recipe for Fennel & Celery soup which is good

for the heart and reducing cholesterol.

 

Serves 3 - 4

 

2 bulbs fennel, dived

4 sticks celery, chopped

3 tbsp olive oil

1 1/2 pints vegetable stock (UK pint = 20 oz, therefore US require 30 oz,

almost 2 US pts)

Juice of 1/2 lemon.

 

Cook the fennel & celery slowly in the olive oil until soft - this may take

up to 20 minutes.

 

Add the stock, bring up to the boil, season with salt & pepper and simmer for

20 minutes.

 

Whiz the soup until smooth and then push through a sieve (I don't do this as

I like a little bulk in my soup) into a clean saucepan. Stir in the lemon

juice and serve.

 

This is a wonderful soup, really tasty. Celery is good for the heart and

fennel is very good for reducing cholesterol.
