Celery Soup, Shelter from the Fog


Imagine what celery soup would taste like with real celery. It would be simple and salty, like a mirepoix on acid (in reference to a little squeeze of Meyer lemon)- a little shelter from the fog. Did you know celery is one of Ventura County's biggest crops. Time to start treating celery like a main dish and make some soup before the fog burns off.

Simple Celery Recipe:

ingredients:
olive oil
one onion
one clove of garlic
one bunch of celery or two
veggie stock
creme fresh for the top
meyer lemon
salt and pepper and chopped herb of your choice for garnish- try thyme, mint, or oregano

the method:
chop your onion and garlic and celery
add them to 2 tbsp of heated olive oil
sauté until soft
add 2 cups of veggie stock and a little extra water ( you may also add milk after the soup has boiled, and gently heat till hot)
Garnish with creme fresh, herbs, lemon and salt and pepper

There is plenty of gozo at Rio Gozo Farm. That is JOY in Spanish and joy is one of the most dependable products we have. Gozo is commonly found in gardens and farms. Once you get a little gozo up and going it is very tolerant of most pests, withstands dry periods, and grows with a modicum of fertilizer. After gozo becomes a staple of one's diet, it goes with about anything. Actually folks crave it so much it is a wonder everyone does not have a patch of it growing close at hand. Grab up some gozo and get with the flow.
