Ingredients
- 1/2 pound celery, chopped (outside stalks or celeriac -- about 2 cups)
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup diced potato
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 4 cups turkey or chicken stock
- 1/2 cup milk (optional, up to 1 cup)
- 1 teaspoon dill weed (2 teaspoons for fresh dill)
- 2 1/2 tablespoons cream
Method
- Stew celery, onion, and potato gently in the butter in a covered pan for 10 minutes. Don't let the vegetables brown. Add stock or water and 1/2 teaspoon of dill weed. Simmer for 20 minutes if you have a blender, 40 minutes if you use a food mill.
- Blend or puree the soup. Pour through a strainer into a clean pan (to remove the last few threads of celery), adding a little milk if too thick. Bring slowly to just under the boil, seasoning with salt, pepper and more dill weed if required.
- Put the cream into the soup dish, and pour the soup in on top. Swirl round with the ladle before serving, to mix in the cream.
