Instructions to make Leek & Celery Soup:
- Bring the oil to a medium-high heat in a stock pot or large saucepan and fry the onion for 2 minutes, stirring only to avoid sticking.
- Add the leek and cook for a further 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the celery, garlic and potato and continue cooking for a further 5 minutes or until the leeks are soft but not browned, stirring occasionally.
- Add the stock and stir gently but thoroughly. Add the bay leaves, bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 25 minutes or until the vegetables are nicely softened, stirring occasionally. Remove the bay leaves.
- Move the pan off the heat, season to taste, whizz to the desired consistency (or, as I chose to do, leave it unwhizzed) and then stir in the crème fraîche.
- Return to the heat and quickly bring the soup to piping hot but not boiling point and serve into warmed soup bowls. Garnish with the set-aside celery leaves.
- Serve with granary bread or crusty rolls - if you’re allowing yourself the carbs!
