Very few things are as satisfying as soup! On a cold winter’s night soup is a comforting dish. In summer, a cold soup can be very refreshing. This cream of celery and orange soup can be served hot or cold, but since it is winter in South Africa, it’s been served piping hot at the moment!

This cream of celery and orange soup is quick, easy and nutritious to prepare and a cream of whatever soup can be prepared just as easily and quickly. The recipe is basically a simple roux (melted butter with flour) with your choice of vegetables or meat. The cream is provided with the addition of milk or a milk substitute.

This simple cream of celery soup’s flavour is enhanced with the addition of oranges and it turns this soup into something extraordinary!

It can be made in no time and is a perfect dish to serve on Meatless Mondays or as a starter at a dinner party. I love to serve this soup with some buttered slices of garlic rolls, but you can serve it as is or with any type of bread of your choice.

If you really want to impress, serve the soup in orange halves. Slice oranges in halve, remove the orange meat and spoon the soup into the halved oranges ~ children love this!

    The buy-ery of celery is said to be most healthful, and I imagine this would be a good way to deal with sticks which have lost their crispness and are no longer favoured in a salad.
