Cream of celery soup

[Guest guest]

This got really good reviews from my SO. Nice thing to do if you find

yourself with an overabundance of celery.

 

Cream of celery soup

 

3 cups chopped celery, including leaves

3 large russet potatoes, peeled and chopped

6 spring onions, chopped

4 garlic cloves, minced

2 bay leaves

1 cup evaporated milk (or use soy milk, unsweetened)

1-2 tbsp butter (or use vegan butter alternative)

salt to taste

freshly ground white pepper

freshly ground nutmeg

zest of one Meyers lemon (or any lemon/lime that you might have)

 

Heat butter in cast iron pot or in clay pot. Add bay leaves and green

onions and cook a couple of minutes. Add garlic, celery and potatoes

and cook until fragrant. Add water (about 3 cups) and cook until

potatoes are done. Take bay leaves out and blend (I used an immersion

blender). Add milk, grate nutmeg into pot and add lemon zest and

ground pepper to taste. Taste and adjust seasoning, including salt.
