    6 Ingredient Simple Celery Soup

    This homemade celery soup is quite supremely satisfying.

    Whilst it is a creamy soup, we only pop a little bit of cream in there, so it doesn't deliver too much in the way of calories or fat in each serving if that is something that concerns you.

    We make it smooth so it is just perfect for drinking from a mug, which the kids seem to love.

    Satisfying, indeed!

    Only 6 Ingredients In Homemade Celery Soup?

    Yep, you read that right.

    All you need for some delicious homemade celery soup is:

    • butter (I use salted butter as that is usually what I have on hand)
    • celery
    • red onion
    • vegetable stock (you can always make your own vegetable broth)
    • all-purpose whole wheat flour (I use white whole wheat flour, you could also sub in regular flour or gluten-free flour if you prefer)
    • heavy cream

    Cook it, blend it, add in some cream and you are good to go.

    Meal Prepping And Storage Suggestions

    As this celery soup is so simple, it is just perfect for meal prepping or batch cooking.

    Meal Prepping

    Homemade celery soup can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for about 3 to 4 days if stored in an airtight container.

    Simply reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave when it comes time to serve.

    To Freeze

    This soup is also perfect for making ahead and freezing.

    Simply allow the soup to cool completely, transfer to your freezer-friendly container of choice and store in the freezer for about 3 months.

    To serve, simply remove from the freezer and allow to thaw before reheating on the stovetop or in the microwave.

    How To Serve Celery Soup

    What do we need to go along with some hot, fresh, homemade celery soup?

    Homemade bread of course!

    Soup is just not the same if you don't have some soft and fluffy bread for dipping.

    What To Do With Lots of Celery

    If you got a good deal or lots of celery showed up in your CSA box this week, you may need some more ideas on what to use it for after using it in this simple celery soup.

    Well, after you have made up a big batch of Celery Soup (make some extra and store it in the freezer in individual mason jars for when you need a soup fix during the week) you can try out these ideas:

    • Super Green Celery Smoothie
    • Make some Celery Juice
    • Try Celery Lentil Salad from My Kitchen Love;
    • OR try something totally different with this Shrimp Creole from New South Charm which uses 3 stalks of celery!

    How do YOU use up lots of celery?

    I love hearing from you so be sure to leave a comment and let us know your favorite celery recipes so we can use more of this underrated veggie!

    Happy Eating!

      Can 1/2 & 1/2 be substituted for the heavy cream?

      Making this soup tonight. I have a lot of celery to use up! Thank you for the simple recipe. I’m going to use a dairy free cream to make it vegan. I will Use whatever is left to make a fresh juice...probably with beets and apples🙂

        Good idea!! I never think to serve soups chilled, but it would be such a great thing to do in warmer months!

    Hello and welcome, I'm Donna!

    I am so glad you are here!

    Since I have a part-time job, 3 little kids, and a love of good food (as do you I assume), I have learned how to get the most out of the kitchen in the smallest amount of time.

    Forget about hunting down weird ingredients and making trips to specialty shops.

    We are going to make the most of what is available at the store and farmer's markets all whilst enjoying some delicious meals the whole family (hopefully...if you have fussy eaters I guarantee nothing) will enjoy.

    Pop on that apron and let's get creative in the kitchen!
