I jumped out of bed this morning to run. It was cold and my legs were tired after yesterday's exertion, so instead of running solidly I had a couple of short walks to ease me into it. Despite that I ran the same distance as yesterday in the same length of time which can only mean I was faster today.
After returning, I perused the contents of the fridge and decided soup was in order. I had cream of celery soup in mind, however Partner had used half of it for last night's Coq au Vin and had finished off the cream for dessert, so I threw in bits of this and that and made a delicious, relatively low fat soup.
Serves 3-4
Half head of celery, chopped (reserve leaves for chopping to add later)
Half an onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 broccoli stem, peeled and chopped
4 medium sized new potatoes, peeled and halved
Good knob of butter
150mls milk
1 pint chicken stock
Sweat veg in butter on low heat for 25 minutes stirring occasionally.
Pour in stock and bring to boil, reducing to a low simmer for 15 minutes.
Add chopped celery leaves and season to taste.
Blend until smooth.
Add milk then bring back to a simmer before serving.
Okay, this doesn't do it justice as it is a bit bleached out by the flash!
