(recipe) Cream of Celery Soup

[Guest guest]

Celery is pretty cheap at the grocery stores right now

(heads of celery are going for 49 cents each here). I

made this soup for lunch today and it's yummy. This

recipe makes about 2 servings.

 

Cream of Celery Soup

 

1 T. olive oil

1 T. butter

1/2 onion, sliced

2 garlic cloves, chopped

2-3 stalks celery, diced (including leaves)

2 cups vegetable broth

1/2 cup cream (or half & half)

salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

 

Heat the olive oil and butter in a saucepan, over a

medium heat. As the butter begins to melt, add the

sliced onion and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes.

Add the diced celery, and continue cooking for 1-2

minutes. Pour in the vegetable broth, then lower the

heat to a simmer, for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the

heat, pour in the cream. Season with salt and pepper.

Blend with a hand (stick) blender until smooth (or

pour in a blender and blend until smooth).
