Ingredients

  • 2 stalks celery, sliced
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced

Method

  1. 01

    Wash and slice 2 stalks of celery into 1-inch pieces. Peel and slice 2 medium carrots into rounds.

  2. 02

    Place carrot rounds in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 4 minutes.

  3. 03

    Add celery pieces and continue steaming for another 7-8 minutes until both are completely tender.

  4. 04

    Transfer to a blender with 3-4 tablespoons of steaming liquid.

  5. 05

    Blend on high until smooth; the celery thins the puree naturally and adds a fresh, mild flavor.
