JoanneLeek and celery soup with spiced onions
As soon as the Summer starts turns to turn into Autumn here in the UK, my thoughts turn to SOUP! You can make it out of almost any vegetable, its incredibly quick and easy to get a pan bubbling away on the stove, and eating it is not only good for you, it warms the heart and feeds the soul. This is a simple vegetable soup made special with a topping of Greek yogurt and delicious crunchy spiced onions.

Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Fry the sliced onion and celery in a large, deep pan with a knob of butter and a good glug of olive oil, until the onion is starting to soften.
* Step 2
Add the leeks and potato, pour in the stock, cover the pan with the lid and simmer on a low heat for about 25-30 minutes until everything is very soft. Puree the soup with a stick blender or in a food processor until smooth, adding a little boiled water to thin if necessary. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
* Step 3
To make the crispy onions, heat some light olive oil or vegetable oil in a large frying pan and add the sliced onion, fry, stirring, until just starting to brown and crisp up. Add the spices and salt and pepper, and fry for another minute or two, then add a knob of butter and stir it in as it melts. Remove from the heat.
* Step 4
Reheat the soup and serve in warmed bowls, topped with a spoonful of Greek yogurt, a squeeze of lemon juice and some crispy onions.
