Ingredients for 4 people
500 g floury potatoes
2 onions
2 stalks of celery
2 tbsp butter
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 l vegetable broth
200 ml cream
Salt, pepper, freshly grated
nutmeg
aside from that:
1 bunch of arugula
1 l sunflower oil
Here’s how to prepare it:
Peel and roughly chop the potatoes and onions. Clean and finely chop the celery. Melt the butter in a large saucepan and add the onions,
Sauté the celery and garlic for 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and stir well. Add the vegetable stock and simmer with the lid on for 30 minutes until softened. Then puree with a hand blender until smooth and strain through a sieve if desired. Finally, add the cream and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Clean the arugula. Heat the oil in a pan (approx. 170°C), add the arugula, and fry briefly. Keep some distance from the pan, as the oil will splatter during frying. Drain the arugula on a paper towel and serve immediately with the soup.
