Tasty Leek and Celery Soup

I was looking for a celery soup recipe and discovered this wonderful recipe.  I adapted it to suit my ingredients.  The soup has a surprising depth of flavour.

Ingredients
1 knob of butter
1 onion, sliced
1 large head of celery, chopped
1tsp dried parsley
500ml vegetable or chicken stock
2 leeks, chopped
350ml milk
Salt and pepper to taste

Method

• Melt the butter in your pan and fry the onions until soft.
• Add leeks and celery and continue cooking whilst you make the stock.
• Add the stock and parsley to the pan and turn down the heat.
• Simmer for about 20 minutes, until the vegetables are cooked.
• When cool, blend until smooth. 
• Add the milk and reheat.
• Check your seasoning and serve with crusty bread.
