Soup is my go-to for lunch or a quick and easy supper. This celery and apple soup is a great way to use up bits and pieces from the fridge (and fruit bowl) and tastes amazing.

Celery and Apple

In summer I mix apple and celery together in a salad. The almost aniseed like flavour of the celery marries perfectly well with the fresh sweetness of apple.

Why not bring these two ingredients together in the form of a soup. This simple celery and apple soup is easy to make and really packs a punch of flavour.

I made this the other night when I had a girlfriend round for supper. The soup went down great, it was just a pity she brought her (uninvited) dog who proceeded to trash the kitchen. When I didn’t appear thrilled she said ‘love me love my dog’.

Would she appreciate it if I rocked up with my cats and chickens to her house for supper, I think not. Anyway, on with that soup recipe……

Ingredients for celery and apple soup

Celery of course. I used a whole head of celery in my recipe.

A potato to thicken things up.

The usual soup base of onion and garlic.

An apple (eating apple please, not a cooking apple as they are far too bitter for this soup recipe)

Fresh thyme and vegetable stock (or chicken stock if you prefer)

How to make celery and apple soup

Simply saute the onion in a little oil then add the garlic. Now add all your other ingredients, cover the pan and simmer for 30 minutes.

use a stick blender to puree the soup and make it rich and creamy.

I’ve finished off my celery and apple soup with some baked pancetta, you could use bacon if you like. It adds extra flavour and some crunch to your soup.

Soup storage

This soup will keep for up to 4 days in the fridge or 6 months in the freezer.

    I have to say I am a dog person. Love my Shar Pei’s! But that being said, I would never impose on a host by bringing my dog along. I feel it is good for me and good for the dog to have some alone time. The soup you made looks delicious. Another of your recipes I will have to try. Thanks for sharing. When does Idgy return? I hope she has been having a good time. How have you been doing by yourself?

    Love a warming soup on a cold winter day. Made sweet potato soup too many times lately so this recipe is very welcome. Thanks, Karon.
