The leek is the national emblem of Wales. This soup is also known as Cawl Cennin in the Welsh language. 'Cawl' means broth. Leeks used to only be available from January to March, but nowadays they are available just about all year round.

2 Sticks Celery, chopped
1.1 Litres Chicken stock or vegetable stock (2 pints)
150 Gram Natural yogurt (5 oz)
