I believe celery is so versatile, don’t you? I like it in just about everything and even on its own. Here is my cream of celery soup recipe.

With the exception of adding celery to desserts, I think I’ve eaten it in just about everything. Although its made primarily of water, celery has such good flavor and brings so much to a bastion of homemade recipes.


Cutting into smaller sticks and sprinkled with seasoned salt, it’s the ease and the crunch that make it perfect for an on-the-go snack.. One of my favorite snacks, even from when I was young, is celery with pimento cheese. But it’s what celery brings to soups and other homemade recipes that makes it a crucial ingredient. A key ingredient in mirepoix, together with carrots and onions, this is the base to most soup, stew, and sauce recipes.

Celery root is delicious as well. I included it in this homemade slaw recipe that I make over and over throughout the year.

So with all of this celery talk, why not make it the star of the show, and make a soup out of it. Better yet, a cream based soup. As a side note, this recipe calls for an immersion blender. If you do not have an immersion blender, this is one that I recommend.
