Cream of Celery Soup Recipe
Description
Cream of Celery Soup starts with melting butter and whisking in flour to create a roux, which thickens the soup. Chicken stock and milk are gradually added to form a smooth base, seasoned with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder for a balanced mild flavor. Chopped celery is sautéed and folded into the soup, adding texture and the vegetable’s characteristic taste.
The soup simmers until slightly thickened, resulting in a creamy consistency that carries the mild aromatic flavor of celery without being overpowering. It can be reheated gently to retain its smoothness and is suitable as a starter or light dish.
According to the recipe notes, the soup keeps well refrigerated for 5-7 days and can also be frozen for 3-6 months, making it convenient to prepare in advance or use as a base for other recipes. Proper storage in airtight containers helps maintain freshness and flavor.
