Celery cream

Celery cream

A photo is to blame for making me interested in this recipe, a Celery cream Which I thought was perfect to add to my weekly menu. I use to make zucchini, pumpkin, carrot or leek creams, so why not a celery cream? I liked the idea and I jumped into the pool without thinking twice.

When I started reading the ingredients list I realized that it was not as light as I would have made up my mind it would be. It is not a negative thing; I liked the texture and flavor once I tried it. And also the idea of ​​incorporating a spinach pesto as an accompaniment. Do you dare to do it?
