Cream of Spinach and Celery soup

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons of sunflower oil

1 leek, chopped

5 cloves of garlic, chopped

1 red chilli chopped (optional)

4 or 5 sticks of celery, finely chopped

1 tablespoon of flour (I used a doves farm gluten free one)

a few good handfuls of fresh spinach

2 cups of soya milk

water to cover ingredients (the more you add the thinner soup will be - I used about a cupful)

salt to taste

a little white wine (optional)

Fry the leek, garlic and chilli, if using, in the oil for a few minutes. Add the celery and cook for another few minutes until starting to soften. Add the flour and mix well, then throw in the spinach and mix round. Add the soya milk, water, salt and wine, if using. Stirring continuously, bring to a simmer then switch off and remove from heat. Cover and leave for a few minutes (gives you time to set table etc.). Blend until smooth in a food processor or with a hand blender. Yum :)
