Celery Soup

This was an easy recipe, the most grueling job being the stripping of the celery (I just used my peeler). I threw in all the celery leaves which I found to be decent. I also added a little bacon before I liquidised, to satiate my boyfriend. It resembles a pea soup in taste because of that, but even without it had a nice strong, fresh flavour. A very nice recipe to cozy up with in the winter!
