The Mat Movement luxury yoga retreats; peanut and celery soup.

Peanut and celery soup

Two flavours here that stand up in their own right but compliment each other wonderfully. This soup is very satisfying. You could swap the onions for shallots for a deeper flavour or you could spice it up with a little chilli or nutmeg too if you were so inclined. We like it simple. Mwah.

Serves 4

Ingredients
7 good sticks of celery chopped
2 small onions diced
1 carrot diced finely
freshly cracked black pepper
good salt
2 pints vegetable stock
1 teaspoon sugar
a handful salted peanuts
2 tbsp olive oil
juice of 1 lemon

Method
1. Fry the onions, celery and carrot gently with the lid on the pan for twenty minutes. Agitate regularly. You want to soften all of the vegetable and offer some colour but you don’t want to burn anything.
2. Use a pestle and mortar to crush the peanuts.
