Warming Celery & Carrot Soup image

A smooth and creamy soup with just a little "bite" for those colder days. Cooked in a microwave with not too much labour input beyond preparation of the veg. The basic recipe was a favourite from our old Sanyo microwave cookbook from more than twenty years ago. Note: For more or less "bite", add or take away one tablespoon of the Love Apple Sauce as you desire. If Love Apple sauce is not available a substitute can be made by combining 1 tbsp Tomato Ketchup with 1 tsp Jerk Sauce.

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

350 g celery ribs, trimmed, washed and cut to 12mm diced lengths
150 g carrots, washed and grated
12 g unsalted butter
450 ml chicken stock (cubes will do)
2 tablespoons levi roots love applesauce
300 ml whole milk
salt & pepper (to season)
25 ml double cream (Swirl to decorate)
1 pinch dried parsley

Steps:

  • Place butter, diced celery and grated carrot in 2 litre microwaveable bowl and heat on high for 5 minutes.
  • Add stock, stir and return to microwave for further 12 minutes on high.
  • Remove from microwave and liquidise in batches until smooth, adding to large saucepan. For really smooth soup, pass through a sieve to remove the fine celery strands which occasionally remain (only if you are an absolute fanatic and a glutton for work).
  • Add milk, seasoning and Love Apple Sauce (adjusting to taste).
  • Heat to fast simmer then plate up, decorate with a small swirl of cream and a pinch of dried parsley.
