  1. Here is the recipe to make homemade veg stock which makes the soup more flavourful and nutritious.

  1. To make celery and green peas soup, heat the 1 tbsp butter in a deep pan. Butter adds a rich and creamy flavor to the soup. It also helps to balance out the sweetness of the green peas and the saltiness of the broth. Recent research shows that small amounts of butter has positive effects on heart health. So diabetics too can have a small quantity of butter and balance it with other types of fats they consume.
  2. Add 1/2 cup roughly chopped onions. Onions release a wonderful aroma when cooked, which makes the soup more inviting. The quercetin in Onions promotes production of HDL (good cholesterol) and lowers total cholesterol in the body. The sulphur in onions act as a blood thinner and prevents blood clotting too
  3. Add 1 1/2 cups roughly chopped celery (ajmoda). Celery adds a bit of crunch to the soup, which can be a nice contrast to the smooth texture of the peas. Celery helps reduce the total blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, thus reducing the clogging of arteries and chances of stroke.
  4. Sauté on a medium flame for 1 to 2 minutes.
  5. Add 1 tbsp oats flour. Oats flour is a good thickener, and it can be used to thicken soups, stews, and sauces. It gives the soup a smooth and creamy texture without adding too much fat or calories.
  6. Add 3 cups vegetable stock or water. For better taste use vegetable stock or if in hurry then use stock cubes. Homemade vegetable stock has a neutral flavour and desirable consistency that make it very versatile. It adds exciting flavours and aroma to the dish it is added to.  
  7. Mix well.
  8. Cook on a medium flame for 8 to 10 minutes, while stirring occasionally. 
  9. Cool and transfer to a mixer.  
  10. Blend in a mixer to a smooth purée.
  11. Transfer the purée into a deep pan.
  12. Add 1/2 cup fresh green peas. Fresh green peas are used in green pea soup because they have a superior flavor, texture, and nutritional value to frozen or canned peas. Fresh green peas have a sweet and delicate flavor that is unmatched by frozen or canned peas. They also have a tender and buttery texture that is essential for a smooth and creamy soup.
  13. Add salt to taste. We added 1/2 tsp salt. Salt brings out natural flavours and makes foods more palatable. Too much of it can ruin the food and your health. So, use only the right amount. If you have high blood pressure, cut back on salt. 
  14. Add freshly ground black pepper (kalimirch) to taste.
  15. Mix well.
  16. Cook on a medium flame for 3 to 4 minutes till peas are cooked, while stirring occasionally.
  17. Serve celery and green peas soup hot with toasted multigrain bread.
