Cream of celery soup is a classic comfort food that is perfect for a cold winter day. This creamy and flavorful soup is made with celery, onions, carrots, and chicken broth. It is often garnished with fresh parsley or celery leaves. Celery is a versatile vegetable that can be used in a variety of dishes, but it is especially well-suited for soups and stews. The celery adds a subtle flavor to the soup and helps to thicken it.

Steps:
- Heat butter in a large (4-quart) saucepan over medium heat. Add celery, onion, and potato; season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add 6 cups water to saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer until vegetables are very tender, about 20 minutes.
- Working in batches, puree soup until smooth. (To prevent splattering, fill blender only halfway, and allow the heat to escape: Remove cap from hole in lid; cover lid with a dish towel, holding down firmly while blending.) Return soup to pan; stir in lemon juice, and season with salt. Serve, garnished with celery leaves.

CREAM OF CELERY SOUP
Steps:
- Saute the onions, leeks, and celery: Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a thick-bottomed 4 to 5 quart pot on medium heat. Add the chopped onion, leeks, and 5 cups of the chopped celery. Cook on medium heat for 10 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for a minute more.
- Add the stock, bay leaves, and salt, then simmer: Add the chicken stock and bay leaves to the pot. Taste for salt and add salt. (If you are using unsalted butter and unsalted stock, you will need to add more salt than you expect. If not, maybe just a little salt will be needed.) Increase the heat to bring to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low and cover to maintain a simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes.
- Braise the remaining celery to soften: While the soup is simmering, prepare the extra celery that will be added later to the soup. In a separate small saute pan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter on medium heat. Add 1 1/2 cups diced celery to the butter. Ladle 1/2 cup of the simmering stock from the soup pot into the saute pan. Simmer on low for 5 or 6 minutes to soften the celery. Set aside.
- Puree the soup: Remove the soup pot from the heat, and let cool slightly. Remove and discard the bay leaves. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup. If you don't have an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup in a stand blender in batches. Fill the blender no more than a third full at a time (keep your hand on the lid so the hot liquid doesn't explode). Return the pureed soup to the pot.
- Stir in the cream and the braised diced celery: Taste for salt and add more if needed. Serve hot, sprinkled with freshly ground black pepper and garnished with chopped chives or parsley.

Steps:
- Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add celery and onions. Cover and cook until very tender, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Stir in celery root, potato, garlic and celery salt. Add 2 cans broth; cover and simmer until all vegetables are very tender, about 30 minutes. Puree in blender in batches. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
- Pour soup into large saucepan. Add cream; bring to simmer, stirring often. Thin with more broth if necessary. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle into bowls.
Tips:
- Use fresh celery: Fresh celery has a more pronounced flavor than celery that has been stored for a long time. If you can, try to use celery that has been picked within the last few days.
- Don't overcook the celery: Celery should be cooked until it is tender, but not mushy. Overcooked celery will lose its flavor and texture.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water, but if you use water, you'll need to add some salt and pepper to taste.
- Add some cream or milk: Adding some cream or milk to the soup will make it richer and creamier. You can use heavy cream, half-and-half, or even evaporated milk.
- Season the soup to taste: Once you've added all of the ingredients, taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
Conclusion:
Cream of celery soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and it can also be served as a side dish. If you're looking for a new soup recipe to try, I highly recommend cream of celery soup.
