Lunch Friday 8 June - Celeriac & Apple Soup with Toasted Almonds


Celeriac & Apple Soup with Toasted Almonds
240g celeriac, peeled and cut into cubes
1 Red Delicious apple, cored but not peeled (about 240g)
90g celery, chopped
400ml vegetable stock
few sprigs parsley, chopped
45ml single cream
25g flaked almonds

Combine celeriac, apple & celery in a pot. Cover with vegetable stock and simmer until tender.

Blitz everything together with a hand blender or in a blender jar. Add salt & pepper to taste (be sparing). Add 30mls cream and the chopped parsley.

Toast the almonds in a dry frying pan until golden and crisp; careful as they burn easily. Garnish the soup with the reserved tablespoon of cream and the toasted almonds.
