Gluten Free Cream of Kumara & Celery Soup

"This is an adaptation of Jan Biltons recipe. I have made slight changes to make it gluten and dairy free. A tasty soup, that while it could look more attractive, certainly makes for its humble presentation with great flavour. If the spinach was omitted I think the colour would be more appealing and the taste not likely to be compromised."

directions

  • Combine the celery, spinach, kumara and stock in a saucepan and simmer the vegetables until soft.
  • Puree until smooth. I put the misture through a sieve to remove the celery strings.
  • Melt the margarine in a large saucepan.
  • Saute the onion, until tender. Stir in the flour. Gradually stir in the rice milk, cooking on low heat until thick.
  • Slowly stir the puree into the white sauce.
  • Season. Heat through without boiling then serve.

  1. Reviewed for Aus/NZ Forum December 2011 Recipe Swap- this is a really simple and tasty soup that I enjoyed for an easy lunch. I used soy milk in place of the rice milk as that was what I have.
