Celery-Parsley Soup image

A little butter and just one potato give this bright green soup a luxurious texture, but the clean, vibrant flavors (thanks to plenty of parsley, spinach and an entire bunch of celery) are like a spring tonic. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil or a dollop of yogurt and serve with a crusty baguette, if you like.

1 large Yukon Gold potato, peeled and diced
1 large clove garlic, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
4 handfuls baby spinach (about 4 ounces)
Leaves from 1/2 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup low-fat (1%) plain Greek yogurt

CELERY AND POTATO SOUP



Celery and Potato Soup image

This light puree is more celery than potato. The potato thickens the soup, a simple potage that is brought to life by the tiny amount of walnut oil that's drizzled onto each serving.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 1h

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 large or 2 medium leeks, white and light green part only, cleaned and sliced
6 celery stalks, sliced (about 3/4 pound)
Kosher salt
1 medium-size russet potato, about 10 ounces, peeled and diced
4 garlic cloves, peeled and halved, green shoots removed
A bouquet garni made a bay leaf and a couple of sprigs each parsley and thyme, tied together
7 cups water or chicken stock
Freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons walnut oil
1/4 cup very thinly sliced celery
chopped chives or chervil (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil over medium-low heat, add the onion, leek, and celery, and cook gently, stirring often, for about 10 minutes, until very tender. Add 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt after the first 5 minutes. Make sure that the vegetables do not color.
  • Add the potatoes, garlic, and bouquet garni. Stir together and add the water or stock. Bring to a simmer, add salt to taste, cover and simmer 30 to 40 minutes, until the vegetables are very tender and the broth fragrant. Remove from the heat.
  • Remove the bouquet garni from the soup. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup (or you can put it through the fine blade of a food mill or use a regular blender, working in batches and placing a kitchen towel over the top to avoid splashing). Then strain through a medium strainer (this step is important; otherwise the soup will be stringy), using a pestle or the bottom of a ladle to push the soup through. Make sure to scrape the outside of the strainer so that all of the puree goes back into the soup. Return to the pot, stir with a whisk to even out the texture, heat through and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each bowl with a few thin slices of celery and about 1/4 teaspoon walnut oil. Sprinkle with minced chives or chervil if you wish, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, flavorful vegetables. The fresher the vegetables, the better your soup will taste. Look for leeks and celery that are bright green and crisp, and potatoes that are firm and smooth.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. This recipe is a great starting point, but you can easily customize it to your own taste. Try adding a bay leaf or two, a pinch of thyme, or a dash of nutmeg.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. Overcooked vegetables will lose their flavor and texture. Cook them just until they are tender, but still have a slight crunch.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth. The broth is the foundation of your soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Serve the soup with a garnish of fresh parsley or chives. This will add a pop of color and freshness to your bowl.

Conclusion:

This celery leek soup with potato and parsley is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this soup a try. You won't be disappointed.
