Celeriac and Broccoli Soup

This Celeriac and Broccoli Soup is excellent for those watching their calorie intake (only about 60 kCals per portion). At the same time it's extremely tasty and satisfyingly filling, so it can also be a dinner party first course. I've given directions below using a pressure cooker because its quicker, more economical and (I think) packs in more flavour, but if you don't have one just cut up the vegetable more finely and simmer (stirring frequently)  for about 30 minutes.
