Heat the oil in a large saucepan and fry the onion for 5 minutes until golden.

Stir in the celery and cook for 5 minutes, then tip in the potatoes and fry for a further 2 minutes, stirring often.

Stir in the curry paste, let it cook for a minute or so, then pour in the stock.

Bring to the boil and stir well.

Lower the heat, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

To serve, tip the leftover vegetables into the pan and warm through for a few minutes.

Pour the soup into a food processor blitz to a smooth purée.
