Make this rich, velvety homemade celery soup using fresh ingredients. This easy recipe delivers the comforting flavor of classic cream of celery soup perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 6 cups fresh celery stalks, chopped (about 10–12 stalks)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 medium potato, peeled and diced (optional, for extra thickness)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or substitute with full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Do not brown the onion.
  3. Add the chopped celery and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until the celery begins to soften slightly.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and add the diced potato, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the celery and potato are very tender.
  5. Remove the pot from the heat. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until it is completely smooth and velvety. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a standard blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream until fully incorporated. Heat the soup gently over low heat for 2 minutes; do not allow it to boil after adding the cream.
  7. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  8. Ladle the rich and flavorful soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a healthier, low-fat celery soup, substitute the heavy cream with 1/2 cup of plain Greek yogurt mixed with 1/4 cup of milk, stirring it in off the heat.
  • If you want a vegan celery soup, use vegetable broth and full-fat coconut milk instead of heavy cream.
  • To achieve a truly gourmet celery soup texture, strain the blended soup through a fine-mesh sieve before adding the cream.
