Pear Apple Celery Soup


Recently, I found this very interesting Pear Celery Soup on Chow.com and had some fun with it. The result was a light delicious blend of flavors, perfect for lunch!

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons "I can't believe it's not butter"
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped shallots
1 pear, chopped
1 gala apple, chopped
2 1/2 cups low-sodim vegetable broth
3 1/2 cups water

Instructions:
In a large pot melt butter. Once melted, add olive oil, shallots, pear and apple. Season with salt and pepper, cook until tender. Add celery and simmer until celery starts to soften. (About 10 minutes.) Stir occasionally.
Add broth and water, bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer until celery is very tender.
Turn off heat and let cool a little bit. With your hand blender, carefully puree soup until all the pieces have dissolved.

Now eat!
