Just another “unused leftovers” soup, although of course you could buy in or grow the veg specially. Like all such soups, there’s some latitude to vary the proportion of the ingredients to suit your personal tastes or what you have to hand. Celery may be light in colour but this combination of ingredients tends to a darkish end-soup, so don’t be surprised!

Steps

40 minutes including prep.

1

Heat the oil in a large saucepan or stock pot. Fry the onions gently for 3 minutes, until getting soft but not caramelised
2

Add the garlic and fry gently for a further minute.
3

Stir and add the celery and fry gently for another minute.
4

Add the potatoes and stock and give it a good stir. Bring to the boil.
5

Stir in the Zatar or other spice, if wished. Reduce heat, cover and fast simmer for 25 minutes.
6

Remove heat, blend to a nice, smooth consistency and season to taste. I rarely need to add salt.
7

Serve piping hot, twerling the cream into the individual soup bowls and accompany with granary bread or crusty rolls.
