- Pinch of chili flakes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1–2 diced carrots

Instructions
- Heat olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and chopped celery, cooking for 5–7 minutes until soft and translucent.

- Pour in the stock and cream, stirring well. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer.

Notes

- Add carrots for extra sweetness and color.
