After the holidays, before the holidays… there are many occasions when a detox period may be necessary. In this case we advise you to try the celery cream served with some croutons or with a drizzle of raw oil.

This quick and easy recipe contains all the properties of celery so it is antioxidant, diuretic and purifying , but it is also very good. We also added a potato to make it creamy: it will give substance to the dish. As for the aromas, on the other hand, you are spoiled for choice. We opted for a freshly ground black pepper and nothing more, but the green light also for paprika and chilli.

How to prepare the celery soup recipe

1. First clean the celery stalks thoroughly by removing the leaves, the white part of the attachment and the filaments. Then cut it into 2 cm pieces and set aside.
2. Also peel the potato and cut it into pieces about the size of celery.
3. In a saucepan, sauté the chopped shallot not too finely (we will then have to blend everything), together with the oil.
4. Add the vegetables and, after making them seasoned for a couple of minutes, cover them with water (or broth). Season with salt and cook for about 20 minutes.
5. Blend everything with the immersion blender and, if the cream is too liquid, put it back on the heat for a few minutes. Conversely, lengthen it with a little water.
6. Serve hot, completing with a drizzle of oil and a sprinkle of pepper.

Among the other recipes of this type that we recommend you try is the carrot soup which with its sweet taste will please young and old.
