And than you think.....yes! Finally it’s Sunday....and you decide to go and visit a Jew Cemetery. You stay on a bus for almost 2 hours crossing two times the city, you seen places you never expected to find in Berlin...you arrive in the middle of nowhere, in the extreme north of the city....and the first thing you see once got off the bus is two neo-nazi on a Harley....and after a loong walk you reach the main entrance of the cemetery, which, exactly from that Sunday, decided to close an hour earlier than the usual...you think: “Ok.It could be worst....it could be raining” ....never do that....cats and dogs from the sky, and your umbrella is in the bag you left home....the one next to your desktop.... And than you think....but I am lucky! I can face all this...because I had a Super Sun[WAS?]day Celery Soup!
What do you need:
- 1 Kitchen
- 1 Casserole (obviously big enough)
- Knives
- 1 Potato peeler (not absolutely necessary, but very useful)
- 1 cut board
- 1 wooden spoon
- 1 Blender
Ingredients:
- 1 Celery Root + some Celery leaves
- 1 Carrot
- 1 Onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- Some Vegetable or Chicken Stock, Boiling
- Salt - Pepper
- 2 Bay leaves
- 1 spoon of cream (just if you like it)
- Olive oil
- Carefully peel the Celery Root. It is a very boring job, you especially need to be very careful to check that there is no more dirt in it.
- Dice the Celery Root. An easiest way to do it is to slide it before dicing it.
- Peel the carrot and dice it
- Peel and slice / dice the onion, peel the Garlic cloves and chop finely
- Wash the Celery Leaves and chop them.
- Heath some olive oil in the casserole, and when it is hot enough add Onion and Garlic, toss for a couple of minutes. [Just a couple of minutes, the onion does not have to be brown....]
- Add the carrot to the saucepan and toss for another couple of minutes
- Add the Celery Root...and guess what? Toss for a couple of minutes.
- Add the stock: do not add a Niagara Falls of it, it just need to cover the veggies....
- Add the Celery Leaves, salt and pepper, bay leaves, and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Add the cream and blend it. And correct seasoning.
Serve Hot, with some fresh pepper.
Enjoy it, and...
Bis bald.
