Cream of Celery Soup

 

This recipe is from Food Network. I followed some of the reviews. Used whole milk instead of heavy whipping cream and added fresh thyme and parsley as my herbs of choice. I added Savory Mushrooms plus some of the sauce before serving and put it over the top! Savory Mushrooms 1/15/2025 label: vegetable

Ingredients:

• 2 tablesspoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons EVOO
• 1 onion, chopped
• salt to taste
• 6-8 stalks celery stalks, chopped
• 1 bay leaf
• 4 cups chicken stock
• 1 cup heavy cream, milk or sour cream
• 1 cup mixed herbs, parsley and thyme

Directions:

Melt the butter with the EVOO in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Add the onions and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until softened, about 4 minutes.

Add the celery and 1 teaspoon salt and cook until tender, about 7 minutes.

Add the bay leaf and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce to medium low and cook about 20 minutes. 

Add the heavy cream or milk and return to a simmer.

Working in batches, transfer to a blender and puree until smooth, adding the herbs to each batch.

Serve with Savory Mushrooms.
