Best Homemade Cream of Celery Cream Soup Recipe

 

Best Homemade Cream of Celery Cream Soup

So, what do you do with leftover celery, you make soup. I love this soup because of the potatoes, it keeps you full for a while so you do not get hungry so fast. Now about adding the sugar, well sometimes the celery you buy is a bit on the sour side. Adding the sweetener takes the bitter taste away. A little sugar is not going to make it sweet, so do not worry. 

Let me know how you enjoyed the soup and did you do anything different to it. 

Ingredients 

2 cups           -   Celery, chopped with some leaves 

1/2 cup         -   Celery and leaves, finely chopped (extra)

2 tbsp            -  Butter, unsalted 

2 med.           -  Potatoes, peeled 

1 sm.             -   White onion, roughly chopped 

2 cloves        -   Garlic, roughly chopped

1 cube           -   Veggie stock, low sodium 

1/2 tsp.         -   Sugar  (option) 

1 tbsp.           -  Flour, all-purpose

3/4 cup         -   Heavy cream, using 12%, or milk

Salt and pepper (white)  to taste

Notes: 

-   1 st. boil, 25 to 30 mins or until the potatoes are soft. 

-   2 nd. boil, 10 minutes to cook raw celery.
