Only made Celery Soup today, have posted recipe (photo on blog). Andi, we also have a frige in the back of our car. It is the best thing as you can go shopping, store the cold things, and not have to hurry home. Also , on a trip it is fantastic. Maddy, that cake is beautiful. Us mum really do appreciate the thought and effort that goes into such gifts.

Do you think those same pigs could fly over the Macedon Ranges, and drop in for a while. Don't want to HOG their attention but am in urgent need of help.

Soups / Cream of Celery Soup« on: March 06, 2010, 11:41:02 am »
We were out all day, in fact had lunch at a lovely restaurant in Kyneton, (Victoria), called "Star Anise". Didn't feel like much for tea, but had a couple of isi's Portuguese rolls, so TMX to the rescue with new Soup book....." The best soups in the world." by Clifford A. Wright. Celery had been on special, so couldn't resist and bought a stick. So celery soup to the rescue ! This soup is smooth and has a subtle flavor, ideal as a first course, or as in this case a light meal. It makes 6 medium serves or 4 very large ones. It is ideally suited to the TMX.
Place in the TMX bowl 3 cups of water 2.5 cups of chopped celery( about 2 full sticks) 1 small potato, peeled and cut into 4 1 small carrot, peeled and cut into chunks 1/2 small onion, peeled and cut in 1/2 2 teaspoons of salt Cook 20 mins/100o/speed gentle While this is cooking, make a roux on the stove, in a saucepan. 1 generous Tablespoon of butter, ( I used 1/2 coconut oil). 1 generous Tablespoon of plain flour 3 cups of milk. 1/8 teaspoon of white pepper Melt butter in saucepan, stir in flour and cook for a few minutes. Gradually add milk and stir and cook for 5 mins. Zap the vegetable mix in the TMX bowl and moving speed from gentle to 10 slowly, mix for 1 min. Add milk mix to the bowl and zap for 10 seconds , speed 1. Serve as is or garnish with croutons, or parsley, or celery tops. Members' comments Depome - I LOVE celery soup. I like to finely chop some celery leaves too and stir that through, more than just a garnish. They have the same flavour as the celery so it's a pretty cool way to use something that we normally compost. JulieO - This was so easy to make, I even made the roux in the microwave while the soup was cooking. My first thought when doing a taste test is that it tasted like chicken but didn't say anything and when DH had his he asked if it was chicken soup! Thoroughly enjoyed it and the left overs have been put in the freezer for DH to take to work. Tastes really creamy without any cream. Gert - Love it and the soup will become a favourite. Rogizoja - Looks tasty - just a couple of suggestions. Either make the milk sauce before the soup so you don't have to stand there stirring the roux (that's what TMX is there for!) or replace it with about 40 gm rice flour (grind in TMX before starting soup) and then when soup has finished cooking, add a splash of cream for extra richness and blitz 1 min at speed 10. Added advantage is less fat (no butter). MJ - Chookie, I call this one "Cream of Any Green Vegetable Soup". Broccoli, Asparagus, Leek, all would be good. Thanks. Another idea is to cook a simple flour and butter roux in the microwave and add that without actually making a white sauce. JD - I had this at our football club for starters today and it had the addition of blue cheese. Now, not being a blue cheese eater (another thing I have never tried because of the look and smell of it) I was lucky enough to be given a little sample by the waitress who recommended it. After a taste, I then ordered it - delicious. Nay-nay - This soup was made in quick time. Everyone loved it - Thanks! I made this again. I did the vegie mix first but only for 12min then I added the milk, butter and flour and put it on to cook for another 8 mins - worked well! A really good recipe that is now just that bit easier for me Thermomixer - there's nothing wrong with making the bechamel first and then leaving aside before putting the veg into the TM to cook. Alternatively, you can mix the flour & butter together and drop small bits in while still cooking near the end then cook another 5 or 10 mins to cook out the flour and add the milk? The flour and butter mixture is called Beurre manie and useful as a thickener. But as CP63 says - if you don't cook it long enough it will have a raw flour flavour. JD - Made it as per your original recipe so that I can compare it to Nay-nay's version next time. Lovely soup, thanks for posting it. Chookie - Cleaned out the fridge today and remembered MJ called this 'a cream of anything green " soup so made a version using up carrot, parsnip, celery and celeriac. I made the roux as I like the texture and don't mind a little stirring. 21024

JD it would freeze well. I'd add more vegies when you reheat it. Could add pineapple and turn it into sweet and sour. I made double, so I could try various options.
