Velvety celery soup topped with fresh mint and crispy pancetta.
Ingredients:
  • 36.40 gm Brand Pure Olive Oil
  • 1 brown onion, chopped
  • 1 bunch celery, thinly sliced
  • 300g red washed potatoes, chopped
  • 765.00 gm vegetable liquid stock
  • 100g pancetta
  • 40.00 ml fresh mint leaves, plus extra to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat 1 1/2 tbsp oil. Sauté onion and celery for 10 mins until soft. Add potato and stock, bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 mins until tender. Rest for 5 mins before serving.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the pancetta for 2-3 minutes on each side until crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel and break into shards.
  • Gently fold in the fresh mint leaves to infuse the soup with a burst of flavor. Use a hand blender to achieve a velvety smooth texture. Season to perfection. Serve the soup in individual bowls, topping each with crispy pancetta and a sprinkle of fresh mint for a beautiful presentation.
