LOW-FAT CREAM OF CELERY SOUP WITH GARLIC, CURRY & HERBS
This is my adaptation of a recipe from one of my favorite cookbooks: "Fabulous Fat Free Cooking" by Lynn Fischer. The original recipe is pretty basic and we found it to be a bit blasé (especially if you have a cold or the flu and your tastebuds aren't working for you as well as they should - I've added onion, garlic, curry and some herbs to bring in a bit more flavor. We seem to enjoy it and I hope you will too.

CURRIED CELERY-APPLE SOUP WITH SHIITAKE
This is simultaneously hearty and light. It has plenty of protein so you're not hungry again an hour later, but doesn't feel like you've eaten a heavy stew. Recipe is very easily adaptable to vegetarian by using tofu for chicken and vegetable stock for the chicken broth.

Steps:
- Using a mortar and pestle, smash the garlic with 1/4 teaspoon sea salt into a paste.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic paste, miso paste, cumin, curry powder, celery seed, black pepper, 1 tablespoon sea salt, celery, and apple to the skillet; cook and stir until the celery is slightly softened, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Spoon about half the apple and celery mixture into a blender along with the chicken broth. Hold the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the mixture moving before leaving it on to puree. Pour into a stockpot over medium heat along with the remaining mixture from the skillet, keeping some of the drippings in the skillet.
- Place the skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken in the drippings until completely browned, about 5 minutes. Pour the water into the skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Pour entire contents of skillet into the stockpot along with the shiitake mushrooms. Simmer the soup until the mushrooms have softened, about 20 minutes. Stir the balsamic vinegar and truffle oil into the soup to serve.

Tips:
- When selecting celery, choose stalks that are firm and have a vibrant green color. Avoid limp or discolored stalks.
- To easily remove the strings from celery, use a vegetable peeler or a sharp knife to scrape along the stalk.
- If you don't have curry powder on hand, you can make your own by combining ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, ginger, and chili powder.
- To make the soup vegan, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and omit the yogurt garnish.
- For a thicker soup, blend a portion of the soup in a blender until smooth and then stir it back into the pot.
- Serve the soup with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, for an extra burst of flavor.
