Recipe: Cream of Celery Soup (Vegan)

[Guest guest]

This recipe is from Leah Leneman's _The Tofu Cookbook_ . It's a great way to

take your

celery - and your tofu!

 

Measurements should be good for you whatever system you use.

 

CREAM OF CELERY SOUP (VEGAN)

 

1 head celery

1 onion

1 Tbsp veg oil (or as little as you can get away with - I sometimes use none at

all)

1-3/4 pints/4 cups water or vegetable stock

sea salt as required

freshly ground black pepper as required

1 tsp dried mixed herbs (your choice)

1/2 lb (225 g)/1 cup soft or medium tofu

2 Tbsp chopped parsley for garnish

 

Scrub and chop the celery, chop the onion and saute both in the oil (if used)

for a few

minutes.

 

Add the water or stock and the seasoning and dried herbs. Bring to boil, lower

heat, cover

and simmer for abt. 20 mins.

 

Pour into a liquidizer/blender and leave to cool a little. Add tofu and blend

thoroughly.

(You may need to do this in batches.)

 

Return to saucepan, stir and reheat very gently. Serve with parsley garnish.

 

Simple and good!
