mjcbrink@globe.net.nzCelery SoupIngredients (use vegan versions): 1 head celery **See suggestion below
2 large onions
25 grm margarine
1 litre vegetable stock (4 cups)
400 ml soy milk (1 and a half cups)
1 tablespoon cornflour
1 teaspoon sugar
seasoning to taste
Directions:Chop onions. Wash and dice celery.
Heat margarine or oil, add vegetables and saute for 10 mins. Add vegetable stock, cover and simmer for 25 mins.
Whirl in a blender & sieve to remove any stringy bits. Return to pot with soy milk and add 1 tablespoon cornflour and 1 teasp. vegan sugar mixed with water. Bring to boil while srirring and gently simmer for 5 mins.
Garnish with a sprig of celery leaves.
**Suggestions:-Use a potato peeler to peel off the strings from the older celery stalks and there is no need to strain for stringies!! I also put some celery leaves into the soup for flavour and remove before the blending stage. Smells delicious while cooking too.
Serves: 6 plus
Preparation time: 5 mins
I must admit, this is a sweet soup, even without the added vegan sugar. Interesting flavor, though VERY celer-Y. Diverse change of pace, but not on a routine basis.
