Cream of Celery Soup
Ingredients
4 servings
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the celery, leek, onion and sauté for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mostly softened. Add the garlic and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the vegetable broth, bay leaves, beans and stir to combine. Continue cooking until the soup reaches a simmer. Then reduce heat to medium-low (or whatever temperature is needed to maintain a low simmer), cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until the celery is completely tender.
- Remove and discard the bay leaves. Add ¼ cup heavy cream and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth.
- Taste the soup and add in extra cream or lemon juice if desired, then taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. (You may need a generous amount of salt, depending on the brand of broth used.)
- Serve. Serve warm, garnished with fresh chives and black pepper, and enjoy!
