Cream of Celery Soup
California farmers use efficient irrigation practices that help stretch water supplies, especially during a drought. World-class conservation means you can be proud of local farm products when you “Keep the State on Your Plate!”
Ingredients:
3 quarts chicken stock
3 pounds celery, coarsely chopped
½ pound carrots, julienned
½ pound onions, chopped
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon ground white pepper
3 quarts hot milk
1 cup margarine
Directions:
Pour the chicken stock into a large pot, and bring to a boil. Add the celery, carrots and onion to the pot.
Whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, and milk; add to the pot along with the margarine.
Boil for 10 minutes, then strain out the vegetables by pouring through a sieve, or if the vegetables are large enough, a colander may be used.
California farmers produce fresh, high-quality fruits, nuts, vegetables, proteins and fibers right in our own backyard. It takes water to grow the food we love and farming and ranching are pivotal to the health and stability of our state.
