Celery Soup Trafalgar
I adapted this from a traditional english recipe. Chicken stock may be substituted for the vegetable stock.
Steps
Put the celery into a large saucepan with the onion and vegetable stock.
Bring to the boil and simmer for 30 minutes.
Add the milk , bring back to the boil and then simmer until it is tender , for about 40-60 minutes.
Take it off the heat , cool a little , then sieve or liquidize until it is very smooth.
Blend the flour and the butter into a firm paste.
Return the soup to the heat and drop small pieces of the butter paste into it , stirring all the time.
Simmer gently until the soup has thickened slightly.
Remove from the heat and add the cream , salt , pepper and nutmeg.
Reheat gently but do not boil.
