Creamy Spinach and Cel­ery Soup

Creamy Spinach and Celery Soup

(serves 4)

2 tbsps butter

1 shal­lot, minced

4 cloves gar­lic, minced

3 small pota­toes, cubed (about a large handful)

1 cup cel­ery, chopped roughly

2 tsps celery salt

480 grams/about 18 ounces, or in Eng­land two large bags washed baby spinach

2 cups chicken or veg­etable stock

1/2 cup whipping cream

Melt the but­ter in a large heavy saucepan and add shal­lot, gar­lic, pota­toes and cel­ery.  Saute until the gar­lic is soft­ened.  Add the cel­ery salt and the spinach.  It will seem like a great deal of unwieldy leaves, but do not despair.  Pour over the stock and bring to a sim­mer.  The spinach will quickly wilt.  Sim­mer for about 20 min­utes until the pota­toes are soft.  Puree with a hand blender, then add cream.
