Ingredients in Celery Soup
This celery soup recipe is easy to put together, but tastes so much better than the sum of its parts. In fact, we were surprised at how satisfying it is. It’s not cream of celery soup: in fact, only 2 tablespoons of cream are used for a rich, rich texture. What you need to prepare this soup:
- butter
- celery
- Yellow Onion
- garlic
- Yellow potatoes
- vegetable broth
- Dried dill
- Parsely
- heavy cream
- Salt
tips for the process
This celery soup is made like most pureed soup recipes: sauté the flavorful vegetables, add the remaining ingredients and simmer, then puree in a blender until smooth. Here are a few pointers:
- Use a standard blender, not an immersion blender. We usually like the method of placing an immersion blender (aka hand blender) directly into a pot of soup and blending. However, the hand blender just doesn’t get it anywhere near creamy enough with this soup. Gently transfer to a standard blender, using a 2-cup glass measuring cup, being careful as the soup will be very hot.
- Don’t be tempted to light cream. Stirring in whipped cream at the end gives this soup just the right amount of rich body. Don’t be tempted to use milk: while it works, it’s not nearly as satisfying.
Ways to serve this celery soup recipe
Like any pureed soup, this celery soup recipe is not a standalone meal. It doesn’t have a lot of protein, which is essential for preparing a filling meal. However, it is excellent as a first course or combined with a few other ingredients to make a meal out of it.
