Directions
In a large saucepan sweat off the diced onion in the butter. Wash, trim and
dice the celery, add to the onion and continue on a low heat. Remove and
bruises from the apples and grate them into your pan, discarding the core.
Cook for a further 10 minutes before adding the stock, seasoning and sugar
~ beware too much salt if you are using a stock cube. Bring to the boil,
then simmer, lid on, for 30 minutes - don't over cook or the celery flavour
becomes jaded and the colours dull. Allow to cool a little before
liquidising thoroughly. Pass through a large mesh sieve to ensure there are
no stringy threads of celery remaining. Check seasoning and consistency,
adding a little milk if needed. Serve in warmed bowls, sprinkled with
parsley and the browned almond flakes.
