Ninja Foodi Blender & Soup Maker

Ingredients

300 g celery - one regular head
150-200 g potato - 1 or 2 potatoes
1 tbsp oil
1 stock cube or pot
500 ml water
½ tsp celery salt
½ tsp garlic powder/granules
salt and black pepper - to taste

Instructions

Prepare the vegetables. As this is a blended soup, you don’t need to be fussy.
300 g celery – top, tail, and cut into chunks, if the celery is very stringy, destring. I use the whole length of the stalk in this recipe. Keep any leafy tops for garnish.
150-200 g potato – Cut into 2cm / 3/4 inch chunks. If the skins are clean and unblemished there is no need to peel.
150-200 g potato, 300 g celery
Add all the ingredients to the soup maker.
Add enough water so the vegetables are about 5cm / 2 inches above the liquid line.
1 stock cube or pot, 500 ml water, ½ tsp celery salt, ½ tsp garlic powder/granules, 1 tbsp oil
Put the lid on and select the smooth soup programme. When the machine has finished serve.
Season to taste and add a little more liquid if you want to adjust the consistency before serving.
salt and black pepper

Notes

If is far easier to thin a soup which is too thick than the other way round so I always add less liquid than I think that the soup will need, not quite covering the vegetables is a good rule of thumb.

Storage

Fridge – Allow your soup to cool, pack into containers, seal and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Freezer – Once cold, pack into containers, seal and freeze. Store for up to 6 months. This soup is likely to separate as it defrosts. Give it a good stir as you heat it up to fix.

Reheating – Defrost in the fridge overnight, or on the kitchen counter for a few hours. You can reheat your soup in a pan on the stove top, or in a safe container in the microwave. When using the microwave, I like to use a Pyrex jug for ease of handling.

Hints and tips

It is far easier to clean the soup maker while it is still warm. Give it a good rinse under the hot tap, fill with warm water and add a few drops of washing up liquid. Set to blend for a few seconds. Then rinse again and leave to dry.
