Creamy Celery Soup
Perfect for a rainy-day soup or when you need to whip up a quick meal based on what you have on hand! This great dish uses simple pantry ingredients with a few other items I always have on hand (like butter, a potato, and some celery). It comes together in one pot in no time at all. Is Celery Soup Healthy? Even when served without any add-ins, celery has health benefits. When combined with onions it just gets better.
What’s in Celery Soup?
VEGGIES This mildly flavored soup is made from celery (of course!), potatoes, and onions. Add carrots, broccoli, or spinach if you’d like! DAIRY A very little bit of heavy cream is added to the soup to give it its creamy, rich flavor. Milk will work in a pinch, but the soup won’t be quite as creamy. HERBS & SPICES Salt & pepper, fresh dill, and parsley are the final touches to this creamy soup!
How to Make Celery Soup
Celery soup is super easy to make!
Pro Tips
Use a hand blender (immersion blender) to blend the soup. For chunkier soup, remove some of the celery and potato pieces before blending and chop them a bit. Add them back to the blended soup. If the soup is too thick, add a little more cream and stir thoroughly.
Much like potato leek soup, this can be strained to make it perfectly smooth and silky. Strain the blended soup through cheesecloth to remove any stringy bits. If we’re eating it ourselves, I don’t usually bother but for guests, we like to strain it.
Leftovers
To reheat: simmer it on the stove, adding more cream (or milk) to thin as desired. Celery soup is even better the next day when the flavors have had more time to blend. It should keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in a sealed container. To freeze: ladle into zippered bags and lay them flat in the freezer. Once frozen, the bags can be stored upright to save freezer space. Use in any recipe that calls for a celery soup base!
