Droverjess requested a recipe for soup that she had eaten while out. This one is adapted from a recipe by Delia Smith. As all ingredients were readily available I thought I would make it and 'road' test it for lunch. With the toasted cheese on top , it proved to be a substantial meal. Would serve 6.
50g. butter or oil.( I used Walnut oil)
1 small onion, chopped
250g celery, washed and chopped
2 large eating apples, cored, sliced into 8
400g. tin of diced tomatoes or fresh.
750g of chicken stock.
1/2 teaspoon of each, ground ginger and nutmeg.
1 slice of bread for each person, covered with cheese and grilled
Green onion tops
