Celery and Peas Cream Soup
Why I Love This Recipe
This creamy, green soup is ideal any time of the year, but especially when you feel like having something warm and colourfull to brighten your day.
I prepared some semolina dumplings to with this soup, but you can have it plain, with bread crostini or small size pasta like tubettini for example.
Ingredients You'll Need
300 g celery (about 6 stalks)
100 g frozen or fresh peas (1 cup)
1 small onion
1 medium size potato
2 cubes of vegetable buillion
about 1 litre water (or a little more)
Directions
Clean and chop the celery.
Peel and dice the potato.
Put them in a pot with cold water and add the fresh or frozen peas as well.
Peel the onion and brown it for a few minutes in an empty skillet. This will add some nice smell and flavour to your soup.
Add the onion to the pot with other vegetables and bring to boil.
Lower the heat and cook covered for about 45 min to 1 hour. Check when vegetables are cooked.
Put the vegetables with little stock in a blender and process until smooth and creamy.
Add the buillion cubes to the rest of the stock and let it boil slightly.
Add the puréed vegetables, mix gently to blend everything and let simmer for a minute or two.
