Ingredients

1 large bunch celery with leaves (about 2 pounds)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion (about 12 ounces), chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 cup carrots sliced

1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Salt and coarsely ground black pepper

1/2 cup white wine

4 cups vegetable broth

2 medium all-purpose potatoes (about 6 ounces each), grated

2 cups water

1 jalapeno, chopped (optional)

Directions

This is one of those recipes where your Cuisinart is your best friend. I highly recommend it.

Trim ends from celery stalks. Reserve a few celery leaves for garnish; wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Slice celery stalks, carrots and remaining leaves crosswise into 1-inch pieces; transfer to colander. Rinse and drain well.

Grate potatoes

In 51/2- to 6-quart saucepot, heat oil over medium heat. Add celery, garlic, carrots, leaves, onion, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cook 20 to 25 minutes or until celery is soft but not browned, stirring occasionally. Add wine and cook 2 minutes or until wine is mostly evaporated.

Add broth, potatoes, and water to saucepot; cover and heat to boiling over high heat. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 10 minutes or until potatoes are very tender.

In batches, ladle celery mixture into blender; cover, with center part of cover removed to allow steam to escape, and blend very well until pureed. Pour puree into large bowl. Repeat with remaining mixture.

Return soup to saucepot; heat through. Ladle soup into tureen; sprinkle with pepper and garnish with celery leaves.

Very nice post. Detailed and informative. Saving it.
BTW did you know that if you tightly wrap celery in foil it will keep crisp longer?
