CELERY-PARSLEY SOUP



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.

Time 30m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 bunch celery, chopped (reserve prettiest leaves for garnish)
2 leeks, white and light green portions only, sliced into half-moons
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
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Melt butter with oil in a soup pot over medium heat.
  • Add celery, leeks and potato and cook, stirring occasionally, until leeks are tender, about 6 minutes.
  • Add garlic and salt and cook for 2 minutes more.
  • Add 3 cups water and bring mixture to a boil.
  • Lower heat and simmer until potato is tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Combine spinach and parsley in a blender, and then carefully ladle hot soup over vegetables.
  • Allow liquid to cool briefly (during this time it will wilt spinach) and then purée until smooth.
  • Add yogurt and lemon juice and purée again until soup is very smooth.
  • Serve soup garnished with celery leaves.

CELERY-LEEK SOUP WITH POTATO AND PARSLEY



Celery-Leek Soup With Potato and Parsley image

This celery-forward soup is in essence a potato-leek soup that substitutes most of the potatoes with brighter celery, and skips the vast quantities of cream in the original, resulting in a lighter flavor and texture. Woodsy herbs like thyme and bay leaves, and fresh, raw parsley give the soup its intensely green, almost grassy taste. It's worth trying the soup without dairy, then admiring the transformative effect of a splash of crème fraîche or cream, which subdues the louder celery notes.

Time 45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings (about 9 1/2 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 large leeks (about 10 ounces each), halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise and cleaned (about 3 cups)
3 garlic cloves, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound celery (about 1 large bunch), leaves reserved, stalks trimmed, peeled and thinly sliced
1 large russet potato (about 12 ounces), peeled and roughly chopped
3 fresh bay leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
1/4 cup dry white wine
7 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves, plus more for garnish
Crème fraîche or heavy cream, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large pot, heat the 1/4 cup oil over medium. Add the leeks and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until meltingly tender, about 7 minutes.
  • Add the celery, potato, bay leaves and thyme, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the wine to deglaze, then cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is almost dry, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the stock and bring to boil over high. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until all the vegetables are fully tender and soft, about 20 minutes. Discard the bay leaves, then stir in 1 cup parsley leaves.
  • Working in two or three batches, transfer the soup to a blender and purée until smooth. (It's almost always beneficial to let the soup blend for another minute or two past what seems necessary to emulsify as much as possible.) Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer to bowls. Drizzle with olive oil; garnish with reserved celery leaves and parsley, and sprinkle with pepper. Serve with a dollop of crème fraîche or a drizzle of heavy cream.
