Make a rich and velvety cream of celery soup from scratch. This recipe uses simple ingredients for a comforting, satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 cups chopped celery (about 1 large bunch)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cashew milk (or heavy cream for non-vegan)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped celery and minced garlic to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until the celery begins to soften.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and add the diced potato. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potato is tender.
  5. Remove the pot from the heat. Carefully transfer the soup mixture to a blender, or use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Blend until completely smooth and velvety.
  6. Return the soup to the pot if necessary. Stir in the cashew milk (or cream), salt, and pepper. Heat gently until warmed through; do not boil.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.

Notes

  • For a lower calorie version, use water instead of broth for part of the liquid, or use skim milk instead of cream/cashew milk.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup without potatoes, substitute 1/4 cup raw cashews soaked in hot water for 15 minutes before blending.
  • Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or a drizzle of olive oil.
