You know the drill: for a recipe , you need one stalk of celery and the rest of the stalk is languishing. This recipe offers a solution to that.

Many soups are bound with cream, or a vegetable version of it. In the recipe for this soup, no cream is used to bind the soup, but potato. This still makes it a nice creamy soup that is also extra filling. Still, it remains a light soup that is very suitable to eat as starter . Do you like a little more spice? Then garnish the soup with some chili flakes.

For this recipe you will need a blender or hand blender.
