Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces celery stalks
- 1 piece large onion
- 2 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
- 0.5 cup heavy cream (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 loaf crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Wash the celery stalks thoroughly and chop them into small pieces.
Peel and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the pot and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
Add the chopped celery and sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the diced potato to the pot, followed by the chicken or vegetable stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Using an immersion blender (or transferring the mixture to a countertop blender), blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Be cautious of hot liquid while blending.
Stir in the heavy cream, if using, and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve warm with crusty bread on the side, if desired.
