Anyone got a good recipe for celery soup that actully makes it taste nice .:D

Also I have a kilo of tomato's that I want to turn into pasta sauce ,should they be o.k. to freeze when done as I live alone so only use small amounts of pasta at a time .
Does anyone put the toms in boiling water first to remove the skins, or is it only me who isn't keen on tomato skins :confused:

    Delia's celery soup is really REALLY nice.

    This from someone (me) who doesn't even like celery!

    - Celery soup recipe?


    I usually remove the skins of tomatoes. Or cook with them present to get any goodness value out of them and then squish my sauce through a sieve.

    Hi Jackie,

    I'm another one who takes the skin off tomatoes...they freeze really well.

    I'll second the recipe that squeaky linked to. None of like celery but we all enjoyed that soup.

    I made a yummy celery and potato soup yesterday:

    In 1oz butter cook 1 chopped onion, 1 whole head chopped celery and 500g chopped potatoes for about 10- mins, lid on. Add 750ml light chicken/veg stock and simmer for about 30 mins.

    blend until smooth and add 150ml double cream. season.

    serve with grated cheese on top, makes 6 good bowls and freezes really well.
