🍲 Celery soup 💲

Hey Soup Enthusiast,

I am back from my holiday in Whitby with another low cost soup for you that is easy to make.

🍲 Celery soup

Celery soup is a tasty vegetarian soup that is both healthy and light. With celery and potatoes making up the bulk of the soup, it is low cost, very easy to make and takes little time to prepare.

Celery soup is one of the easiest soups to make. I find preparing food difficult and it can take me a while. Celery, potatoes and a clove of garlic where the only ingredients which needed prepaying, making it one of the easiest and quickest soups to prepare.

Celery soup has a fresh taste to it which I love, the subtlety of the flavors mixed with the celery gives the soup a balance of flavor but, when I tasted the soup there was something missing. I added a sprinkle of much needed dried parsley which lifted the soup up and made it complete.

For me, celery soup would be a prefect starter or a nice lunch alongside some bread. It is a light soup that does not make a large yield but, it can be easily increased by adding more potatoes and celery.

Now lets take a look at the recipe.

🥬 Ingredient of the week: Celery 

Fact - Romans used celery to prevent hangovers.

Cooking tip - When picking celery, aim for firm sticks that snap easily. Look for vibrant green leaves without brown spots or wilting. Avoid overly thick or yellowing sticks as theses can be tough to cook.

Better photography 📷

I mentioned a while back about improving my photography by using a piece of paper to defuse the light. This did not work but, I tried using tissue for the image above. It did not make much difference to the visual quality but, it made the editing proses much easier.

Experimenting with garnish for a more appealing photo 🌿

I am improving the appeal of the soup by adding and experimenting with garnishes for a better photo. The parsley sank. It is a good start though.

General improvements

You may not see much difference yet but we need to add the ingredients before stirring the pot. If you have any suggestions, I would be delighted to hear them. 👍
