Cream Of Celery Soup Low Fat - celery

Method

• Wash each rib of celery to ensure that no dirt sticks to the inside. Dice the celery, including leaves, and the onion.
• Add celery, onion, garlic, and olive oil to a medium-sized heavy pot over medium heat and simmer until the celery is just tender. If it begins to stick, add a bit of the allotted water.
• Add water and bouillon and bring to a boil.
• Meanwhile, in a measuring cup, mix 4 tablespoons of flour with 2 cups skim milk until flour is completely dissolved.
• Once the celery and broth have come to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low and add the milk-flour mixture, stirring until blended.
• Increase heat to medium again and bring to a boil. The soup should thicken over the next few minutes.
• Add four dashes of black pepper and remove from heat.
• Serve immediately.
