Celery Soup huh? For a person who neither liked soup nor celery, I sure seem to have come a long way! Having abhorred soup for the first 20 yrs of my life, it seems indeed surprising to me that I consume soup like there is no tomorrow now. Call it being mature, call it change of taste, call it whatever, I am glad that at last I seem to have arrived at the right place after all this while. I hated Celery, I still am not really ga-ga about it. I cant for the life of me eat it raw. Not even one Food Network Chef has managed to make me a lover even after all their usage of nocturnal adjectives. It has only lead to me to using them hidden amidst zillion other vegetables as an acknowledgment to their renown for being a negative calorie.

Having said the above, I was pleasantly surprised to realize that I actually liked this recipe for celery soup. I have this post in the drafts for 10 months now. I don’t know why I kept it veiled. May be posting it would be like announcing to the world that I am finally ready to face the celery monster which would force me to be more committed, or may be I was still having step motherly feeling towards them..May be, may be not – whatever may be the “may be’s”, this post is finally here. The recipe is very easy and simple and does not take long.

In a tsp. of oil/butter, saute the onion along with celery seeds and curry powder.

Add celery and potatoes and saute some more for about 5 minutes with little salt.

Add the stock/water. Cover and cook until the vegetables are soft – about 10-15min.

Puree the vegetables smoothly in a blender

Pour it back into the saucepan, add herbs is using and pepper to taste.

Serve hot garnished with celery leaves.
