Melt the butter in a saucepan over a low/medium heat. Thinly slice the shallot and garlic and add to the pan, sweating gently until tender.
Step 2
Dice the celery stalks into thirds and add to the pan. Continue to cook for a further 2-3 minutes to just soften and brown the celery.
Step 3
Add the vegetable stock and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce to a low simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes. Uncover and cook for a few minutes more. Serve hot with the buttery stock.
