How to make celery soup

How to make celery soup

Are you on a low-carb diet? Celery soup should be on your list of carb and calorie-smart meals. This delicious soup is smooth and creamy since it’s made with potatoes and cream.

You also don’t need a long time to prepare the meal, so making celery soup is ideal for busy nights and relaxing weekends. If you are looking for vegetarian recipes for cold days, a hot bowl of celery soup will make you feel warm and cosy inside.

If you haven't made celery soup before, follow the steps below to make a tasty soup:

Prepare the ingredients: You need Yukon gold potatoes, a bunch of celery and its leaves, plus onions, dill, broth, olive oil and heavy cream. Chop the celery, potatoes and onions.

Start cooking: Get a medium saucepan and put the chopped celery, potatoes and onions. Add butter and salt as you cook over medium heat for about ten minutes. When the onions are soft, add broth and let it cook until the potatoes are soft.

Blend the soup: When the vegetables are cooked, turn off the heat and move the mixture to a blender. Add dill and start blending the mixture at low speed until the ingredients are smooth. For extra smooth soup, strain it through a fine sieve as you put it in a pot.

Add heavy cream: Return the blended soup to the saucepan and warm it up as you stir in the heavy cream. Add olive oil and salt if needed. Put the soup in a bowl and garnish it with celery leaves.

When cooking celery soup, ensure the onions cook well until they are translucent to enhance the flavour of the soup. You should also boil the broth and vegetables gently to ensure a smooth texture.

It is also important to use a low-sodium broth to control the saltiness of the soup. You can add salt later as needed.

How to use celery in your dishes

Whether you are looking for a delicious ingredient as a main dish or appetiser, we have various recipes that use celery. With the hot summer weather, get your chill with a potato salad recipe.

Other ways to enjoy celery include:

Celery gratin: Let celery take centre stage in the creamy baked gratin dish. Prepare the celery stalks by cutting them into small sizes and cooking them with butter, onions and bay leaves.

Meanwhile, prepare the breadcrumbs by tossing them in butter and walnuts over low heat until they are toasted or golden brown. Bake the celery and breadcrumbs together.

Crunchy crudités: Fresh celery is a great addition to your buffet. Chop the celery into chunks and serve it with hummus. Alternatively, add iced grapes and cheddar cubes for a delicious finish.

Classic Waldorf salad: Give a fresh twist to your homemade coleslaw or avocado Waldorf salad recipe with celery. You can combine celery with other vegetables in the saucepan, then serve the salad with sandwiches and jacket potatoes.

Stock: You can use celery to make vegetable stock. Celery stalks are hard and can be cooked for several hours without leaching colour to the stock. That means you can use it for meat and fish stock.
