Last week's warm weather was a nice treat, but we're back to winter again. A soothing and warm soup is just the ticket for these cool days. And this soup is super simple to make.
Scrub and peel 1 lb potatoes. Compost the peels. Cut the potatoes in large chunks.
Wash and trim (if necessary) 1 lb celery. Compost any trimmings. Cut the celery in large chunks.
Peel 1/2 medium onion. Compost peel. Cut into large chunks.
Place potatoes, celery, and onion in a medium stockpot. Add 2-3 C vegetable stock, chicken stock or water. Cover tightly. Bring to a boil. Turn down to a simmer and cook until all vegetables are very soft, about 20 minutes.
Cool slightly. Then puree with an immersion blender, in a food processor, or in a regular blender. Stir in additional stock (1-2 C) to achieve desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in 1/4 C (or more to taste) heavy cream. Re-heat to hot before serving.
This soup is delicious as is, or you can season it with a little thyme or dill. Lemon thyme is also very nice if you have it.
Enjoy!

This is wildly off-topic, but I've heard you sell medlars (?). If so, where? Probably a farmers' market? Could you let me know when and where you'll next be selling medlars, if you do sell them?
ReplyDeleteI've been looking at your blog and I'll have to try some of those recipes. They look delicious!
