Why you will love this recipe!

• Easy: All made in one pot on the stovetop, this soup is quick to prep and simple to make. Ready to serve in around 45 minutes, with very little hands on cooking time required.
• Simple ingredients: You just need a few basic ingredients to make up a big batch of this soup.
• Healthy: This vegetarian celery soup is loaded with fresh veggies and is low in calories and saturated fat.
• Make ahead: The recipe for this soup is easily doubled. It keeps well in the fridge and is freezer friendly too.

Ingredients

• Oil and butter: For softening the vegetables. You can use just oil if you prefer.
• Vegetables: Celery, carrots, onion and garlic.
• Stock: To keep this soup vegetarian, I used a vegetable stock, but chicken stock will work great too.
• Cream: I used half and half for the silky and creamy texture. Milk or table cream will both work well, milk will contain less fat but will have a thinner texture, and a table cream will result in a richer and creamier soup.
• Fresh herbs: We use fresh dill and parsley to flavor the soup. You can use dried herbs instead, but if you do, stir them in when you are softening the vegetables so the flavors have a chance to develop.
• Salt and pepper: Added to taste. Depending on the stock you are using, you may need to add more or less.

Recipe Variations

This creamy celery and carrot soup is easy to adapt to suit your tastes and dietary needs.

• Use different vegetables. Mushrooms, zucchini, or even potatoes will all work great in this recipe.
• Make it lower carb. This celery and carrot soup is fairly low in carbs and under 20g per serving, but if you are following a low carb diet you can simply leave the carrots out.
• Make it dairy-free and vegan. You can soften the vegetables in just oil and omit the butter. You can also leave out the half and half for a thinner but plant-based soup or try using a dairy-free alternative.
• Use different herbs. I use fresh parsley and dill, but other fresh herbs like thyme, oregano or cilantro will all work well.
• Make it chunky. If you prefer a chunky soup, you can skip the blending.
• Make it quicker. If you are in a real hurry for your soup, you can skip softening the vegetables and just boil them in the stock til tender instead. I prefer to soften them first as the process will add extra flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Recipe Notes and Tips

• Chop the vegetables fairly small so that the soften and cook quickly.
• An immersion blender is the quickest and easiest way to blend the soup right in the pot. You can also ladle it into a stand blender, but be careful as it will be piping hot.
• If making ahead of time, let the soup cool completely before storing.
• If using dried instead of fresh herbs, add them into the pot with the veggies rather than at the end of cooking.
