Creamy Celery Soup Recipe

Hello there all my Cetcu friends! It’s Gina from Kleinworth & Co. I’m so thrilled to be here again. The last time I was here I shared my favorite summertime Blueberry Cobbler Bars. I enjoy making goodies like those, especially in those warm months. But now that it’s so cold outside & winter has really set in, I’m ready for some warm & hearty goodness. I’m sure you are ready too. So I thought I would share my favorite dairy free recipe for Creamy Celery Soup.

I absolutely love this recipe because not only can I make it for enjoying with a side of Cheddar & Chive Beer Bread, but it freezes well for use in casseroles or other dishes too. I’m all about versatile recipes. I love making recipes in large batches so I have enough left over to use in other recipes later on. It takes the same amount of time to make a double batch of this as it does to make this version. So why not make a little more & have something on hand for another night when I’m short on time?

You can reasonably create this up in about 30-35 minutes. So if you are looking for a quick week night meal- this is the one for you. We are usually tight on time after getting home late from the gym & swimming. I’m rarely in the mood for cooking something time consuming – so soups like this are my “go-to” meal.
