CREAMY CELERY SOUP

Steps:

• Heat butter in a large (4-quart) saucepan over medium heat. Add celery, onion, and potato; season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Add 6 cups water to saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer until vegetables are very tender, about 20 minutes.
• Working in batches, puree soup until smooth. (To prevent splattering, fill blender only halfway, and allow the heat to escape: Remove cap from hole in lid; cover lid with a dish towel, holding down firmly while blending.) Return soup to pan; stir in lemon juice, and season with salt. Serve, garnished with celery leaves.

CUSTOMIZABLE VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Season with salt and cook, stirring, until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
• Stir in oregano or thyme and/or tomato paste or Parmesan rind.
• Stir in hard, starchy vegetables and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook 5 minutes.
• Stir in quick-cooking vegetables. Return to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook 5 minutes more.
• Stir in rice and greens. Heat through. Adjust seasoning with salt as desired.
• Ladle soup into bowls. Drizzle with oil; sprinkle with Parmesan and herbs. Serve with crostini.

CREAM OF CELERY SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add celery, shallots, potato, and a pinch of salt. Partially cover; cook, stirring often, until vegetables are soft but not browned, about 15 minutes.
• Add stock; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low; cover, and cook 30 minutes. Stir in nutmeg. Let cool.
• Puree soup in a blender or food processor in batches until completely smooth. Pour through a fine sieve into a large bowl, pressing with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Return soup to pan; stir, and season with salt. Just before serving, heat soup over medium heat (do not boil). Stir in cream, and serve topped with baguette slices; garnish with celery leaves.
