Place the onion, garlic, celery and apples in a large saucepan, allow to sweat over a medium heat in their own juices for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not allow the ingredients to brown.

Add the chopped tomatoes and vegetable stock, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.

Liquidise until smooth, check the seasoning, adding a little salt and freshly-ground black pepper if necessary. Sieve if you want a smooth soup. Serve topped with a swirl of natural low-fat yogurt and small pices of chopped apple and celery, if you like.
