CARROT, APPLE & CELERY SOUP
For this delicious fresh-tasting soup, use your favorite apple rather than a cooking variety, which will give too tart a flavor. This soup is the perfect choice for the starte of a special-occasion meal or as part of a light lunch. Taken from "The Best Ever Low Fat" cookbook. Note: you can also substitute 1 large peeled and chopped potato instead of the celery and garnish with sprigs of parsley.
