Ingredients

Scale

Gather these ingredients to make your Cozy Celery Soup:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 medium onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 4 cups chopped celery (about 1 bunch)

  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)

  • 1 cup peeled and diced potato (optional, for creaminess)

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste

  • 1/4 cup heavy cream or coconut milk (optional, for extra creaminess)

  • Fresh parsley or celery leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Sauté the Aromatics:

  1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

  2. Sauté Onion and Garlic: Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Add the Celery and Broth:

  1. Add Celery and Potato: Add the chopped celery and diced potato (if using) to the pot. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. Pour in Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth (or chicken broth), making sure the vegetables are covered.

Season and Simmer:

  1. Add Seasonings: Add the dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.

  2. Simmer: Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the celery and potato are tender.

Blend the Soup:

  1. Blend: Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until smooth and creamy. Be cautious when blending hot liquids. If using a regular blender, blend in batches and vent the lid.

Finish and Serve:

  1. Add Cream (Optional): If using, stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk for extra creaminess.

  2. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.

  3. Garnish and Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or celery leaves, if desired. Serve hot.
