Ingredients
- 5 Tbsp EVOO, divided
- 5 garlic cloves, sliced as thinly as possible
- 1 bunch of celery, cut into 2-3" lengths, keep leaves
- 1 cup vegetable stock
- 1/2 tsp salt
Preparation
- Add 4 Tbsp EVOO and sliced garlic to a small skillet or pot. Heat over medium-low heat until garlic turns golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, drain off oil and reserve for another use (now you have garlic-infused oil!), and then drain chips on paper towels. Set aside.
- Heat remaining Tbsp EVOO in a large skillet over medium heat. Add celery and sauté 5 minutes until it starts to get soft.
- Add stock and salt, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer 15 minutes. If you have extra time, simmer an additional 15 minutes. The longer you simmer the celery, the softer and sweeter it will become.
- Serve warm with garlic chips and celery leaves sprinkled over top.
