This article emphasizes the practical and creative process of making soup, particularly using celery. The author reflects on their tendency to create soups from an overflowing vegetable rack, finding joy in using ingredients like celery, which is both favored and underestimated. The resulting celery soup becomes a celebration of simple flavors, enhanced by potato and dairy. Accompanied by potato pancakes and gravlax, the meal embodies comfort and resourcefulness, showcasing the humble yet satisfying potential of often-overlooked vegetables in home cooking.
For all the big flavoured soups, this soothing soup with its muted tones seemed perfectly suited to the day, providing a feelgood factor that can only come from potatoes.
There are often looks of disbelief when I list celery as among my favourite vegetables, but it is. So radically are its mineral notes softened by cooking that an ardent celery refusnik lapped up this soup and asked for more.
