Cream of Celery Soup (dairy-free)
Description
This dairy-free cream of celery soup starts by heating olive oil in a pot and gently sautéing diced onion, leek, and celery to soften and develop their flavors. Minced garlic is added near the end of sautéing to ensure its fragrance without burning. The vegetables are then covered with chicken or vegetable stock and seasoned with salt before simmering to tenderize the celery and meld the flavors.
After simmering, coconut milk is stirred in to provide creaminess without dairy. The soup is blended to a creamy or chunky consistency depending on preference, using an immersion blender or traditional blender.
For serving, the soup is topped with celery leaves and a sprinkle of black pepper and paprika, which add visual appeal and light seasoning. The coconut milk offers a subtle sweetness and richness contrasting with the aromatic celery base, creating a comforting and smooth soup without dairy ingredients.
