Cream of Celery Soup Recipe
Ingredients
| 1 good-sized head celery | ||
| 1 1/2 pint stock or water seasoning, including celery | ||
| Salt | To Taste | |
| Flour | 1 Ounce | |
| Butter | 2 Ounce | |
| Milk | 1/4 Pint | |
| 1 pint single cream or evaporated milk | ||
| Cayenne pepper | 1 (Garnish) | |
Directions
If you do not wish to sieve this soup, cut the celery into very tiny pieces.
Simmer the celery with the stock or water until tender, sieve if wished.
Season.
Meanwhile make a white sauce with the flour, butter and milk; this will be very thick, so the celery or puree needs to be added, and blended very slowly into this.
Reheat, and then add the cream; taste and re-season if necessary.
Garnish with cayenne pepper.
