My forever “go-to” soup when I’ve got leftover celery tops hanging around. Yep – the leaves, the bits you usually chuck in the bin, or sacrifice to stock paste – they all go in. And the result? Crazy tasty. I’m obsessed.
ZERO WW Points and only 107 Calories! No glam food pics today – it’s just too good to stop and pose. Sorry, soup doesn’t sit still for a photo shoot.
Confession: I cannot believe this recipe wasn’t already on my site. The other day I went to make it and thought, “Hang on… where did I put it?!” Answer: nowhere. So here it is at last. It’s the perfect speedy lunch or a cheeky starter before dinner. Plus, it’s celery-saving magic – no more wasting those leafy tops!
Big shout-out to my friend Sue Forbes, who shared this gem with me MANY years ago. You’re a legend, Sue. 🥰 Oh, it is also Daniel’s favourite soup!
