Leek and Celery Soup Recipe
Submitted by Mike
Makes about 2 Litres
Ingredients:
- I whole head of celery.
- 3 medium leeks
- 1 onion
- 2 pints of vegetable stock made with 3 stock cubes
- 1 good teaspoon of mixed herbs
- Salt and pepper
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons of honey
Method:
- Wash the celery and leeks and cut into chunks.
- Peel and roughly chop the onion.
- Place the celery, leeks and onion into a large pan together with the stock, mixed herbs and salt and pepper. Bring to the boil then simmer for about 20 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and transfer half of the mixture into a blender, add the honey and the lemon juice and blend to a puree. Tip into a large dish and then blend the other half of the mixture to the same consistency and add to the dish.
Job done. To freeze, I use the 1 litre screw top plastic jars that my breakfast peaches or pears come in (labels removed).

Why the lemmon Juice and Honey?

Well balanced recipe. I loved the end-flavour. The mix of honey and lemon juice may seem strange but, in reality, it is just what this mix of strong vegetable flavours need. Well done, Mike, whoever you are..! I have so much celery in my garden to clear to make way for my Summer vegetables so am relieved to find a succulent way to transfer it to the freezer!!!

Try it with half the lemon. I found the lemon flavour too strong. Otherwise very tasty.
