The Lip-Smacking Soup Series: Celery and Onion Soup

Ingredients:

2 sticks Celery
1 onion
2/3 tsp ginger
1/2 tsp garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
 few leaves of basil and parsley (optionally, freeze-dried seasonings can be used)

Seasonings:

Salt, pepper (to taste)

Garnishing:

Fresh cream

Method:

 1.       Roughly chop all ingredients.

 2.       Throw all ingredients into a pressure cooker with some water for 3/4 whistles.

 3.    Remove from fire, puree with a hand blender to eliminate lumps.

 4.    Add seasonings to taste and bring to a boil.

 5.    Garnish with a teaspoon of cream.

note: Personally, I prefer to retain the fibrous consistency of a soup. You can run the pressure-cooked and pureed soup through a sieve to remove the same.

        Vegetable Broth can be used instead of water any any stage of cooking.
