Curry, Apple and Celery Soup with Spelt Grissini

This curry, apple and celery soup is just what you need during the Kapha season. Sour apples and ginger give it both a mildly sour but also slightly spicy flavour. We recommend this deliciously creamy soup for lunch time; it is particularly suited for Kapha types and offers a source of warmth during the Kapha season.

Curry, Apple and Celery Soup (Kapha Soup)

Preparation
Peel the celery root and apples and cut them into 1 cm cubes. Grate the ginger. Lightly heat the ghee in a pot. Slowly roast the vegetables, apples, spices and sugar in the pot until a subtle aroma fills the air. Add the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Cover and let simmer for 20 minutes.
Purée/blend the soup until smooth. Then fold the crème fraîche into the soup, using a whisk. Add salt and pepper to taste.
If you wish to enjoy the soup in the evening, you can use coconut milk instead of crème fraîche.

Yeast-Free Spelt Grissini

Preparation
Coarsely crush the fennel with a mortar and pestle.
Knead all ingredients into a medium-stiff dough. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes. Form the dough into a roll, then cut into slices the size of walnuts. Twist these into thin 20 cm long sticks. Preheat oven to 200°C and bake for approximately 20 minutes until golden.
