Cream of Celery Soup

Easy Cream of Celery Soup recipe. Made with pantry essentials, this quick and simple dinner idea is perfect for lunch as well.

Half of the time that I buy celery, it goes bad in the fridge. I honestly don’t know how or why it happens. Typically, I am very conscious about what needs to be used up in the fridge and will use it before it’s beyond saving. But for some reason, extra celery goes from looking good one day to being brown and soggy the next. This is where this Cream of Celery Soup comes in.

I always buy a bag of celery when I only need two stalks max for a recipe. So what can I do with the rest? From now on, this Cream of Celery Soup is going to use up my leftover celery. It’s such an easy recipe, and uses less than 10 ingredients. How’s that for a great soup recipe??

I’ve always wanted to make a homemade cream of celery soup recipe. Ever since I saw the canned versions at the grocery store. But I wanted my homemade version to be a flavorful soup. Not like most of the canned stuff you get in store. 

Cream of Celery Soup Ingredients

You just need a couple of simple ingredients to make this creamy celery soup. All you need is:

• unsalted butter
• fresh celery stalks
• chopped onions
• vegetable broth
• all-purpose flour
• heavy cream
• salt
• black pepper

That’s it!!

Tips & Tricks

Make this a vegan cream of celery soup. Instead of making this soup with heavy cream, switch that out for full fat coconut milk. You can use plant-based milk if you like, bit it will be more of a light soup and not as creamy. Cashew cream would also work great to make this a dairy-free soup.

Use an immersion blender. ​I like to use my high-powered blender to make this soup creamy, but you can always use a stick blender or even a regular blender.

Spice it up! ​Add in some of your favorite fresh herbs, such as fresh dill or fresh parsley. Adding in a bay leaf would also be a good way to add more flavor to this soup.

Freeze it. This soup freezes very well. Just wait for the soup to completely cool at room temperature before placing it into a freezer safe, airtight container. Remember, do not place hot liquids into the freezer! I like pouring the cooled soup into a freezer-safe zipper bag to save me space in my freezer.
