Warming Celery & Carrot Soup

• 350 g celery ribs, trimmed, washed and cut to 12mm diced lengths
• 150 g carrots, washed and grated
• 12 g unsalted butter
• 450 ml chicken stock (cubes will do)
• 2 tablespoons levi roots love applesauce
• 300 ml whole milk
• salt & pepper (to season)
• 25 ml double cream (Swirl to decorate)
• 1 pinch dried parsley

1. Place butter, diced celery and grated carrot in 2 litre microwaveable bowl and heat on high for 5 minutes.
2. Add stock, stir and return to microwave for further 12 minutes on high.
3. Remove from microwave and liquidise in batches until smooth, adding to large saucepan. For really smooth soup, pass through a sieve to remove the fine celery strands which occasionally remain (only if you are an absolute fanatic and a glutton for work).
4. Add milk, seasoning and Love Apple Sauce (adjusting to taste).
5. Heat to fast simmer then plate up, decorate with a small swirl of cream and a pinch of dried parsley.
