4 large celery stalks, chopped
1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cups chicken broth
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup light cream, to serve
Chopped celery leaves, for garnish
Recipe
1. Preheat the butter and oil in a saucepan, add the celery and onion and cook gently for 5 minutes, until the onion is soft and lightly colored.
2. Add the broth and bring to boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer gently for about 30 minutes, until the celery is tender. Cool the mixture a little, then work in a blender for a few seconds until smooth.
3. Return to the rinsed out pan, place over low heat, then beat in the peanut butter. Heat through until just boiling. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
4. Ladle the soup into 4 warmed individual bowls. Stir 1 tablespoon cream into each, then wait for a few seconds for the cream to rise to the surface. Sprinkle the chopped celery leaves in the center of the bowls and serve at once.
