Celery and potatoes are pureed together and gives out an aromatic flavor which is truly delicious. The name itself is creamy, but the recipe contains no cream, the addition of potatoes adds substance and creaminess to the soup. Enjoy this soup with some freshly baked italian bread.

Serves: 4 Preparation Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup freshly chopped celery or celery root
- 1/2 cup boiled potatoes, cubed
- 1/4 cup of chopped spring onions
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 4 cups of water (or vegetable stock)
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Method
In a sauce pan, heat the butter over a low-to-medium heat. Add the celery and spring onions and saute for a few minutes until tender. Set aside to cool.
Once cooled, puree the celery mixture, along with the potatoes and salt, adding water as needed until really smooth. Strain the puree to remove any residue or fibre. Add the remaining water to the puree and bring the soup to a boil.
Season to taste with salt and crushed pepper.
