Categories     Soup/Stew     Vegetable

Yield 6 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bunch of celery
3 cloves minced garlic
1/4 Spanish onion
3 1/2 cups water
2 cups skim milk
4 tablespoons white flour
2 chicken bouillon cubes
olive oil
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Wash each rib of celery to ensure that no dirt sticks to the inside. Dice the celery, including leaves, and the onion. Add celery, onion, garlic, and olive oil to a medium-sized heavy pot over medium heat and simmer until the celery is just tender. If it begins to stick, add a bit of the allotted water. Add water and bouillon and bring to a boil. Meanwhile, in a measuring cup, mix 4 tablespoons of flour with 2 cups skim milk until flour is completely dissolved. Once the celery and broth have come to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low and add the milk-flour mixture, stirring until blended. Increase heat to medium again and bring to a boil. The soup should thicken over the next few minutes. Add four dashes of black pepper and remove from heat. Serve immediately.
