Method

  1. Gently fry onions and garlic in butter until soft. Separate stalks of celery so that you can save the inner leaves. Chop stalks finely and set aside inner leaves.
  2. Peel and chop potatoes and apples.
  3. Add celery, potatoes and apples to onions season generously with salt and pepper and fry gently with the lid on for about 15 minutes or until ingredients are very nearly cooked.
  4. Add the hot stock, bring to the boil and simmer covered for about 10-15 minutes more.
  5. Liquidize. Add lemon juice and nutmeg and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  6. To garnish each bowl first swirl in tsp of cream and sprinkle celery leaves and bacon on top.

    Its a very easy thing to make and the results are good, but leave out the lemon juice, it is overpowering. Otherwise an excellent recipe.

    FOR A HEALTHIER AND VEGGIE VERSION - I halved the ingredients (to serve 4), didn't have apples so omitted them, left out the cream for health and the bacon because I'm a veggie (mostly) added chopped green chillies to stage 3 for a little kick. I garnished it with chopped parsley and blue stilton, and this dish STILL rocked!

    Oh i completely forgot, once it's all liquidized, I stir in a load of pre-cooked mung beans, they go perfectly with this dish and add a good dose of protein, ENJOY
