Full Ingredients List

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 4 cups celery, chopped (including leaves)

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • Seasoning salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • Optional: fresh parsley or chives for garnish

Step-by-Step Preparation

Here's how to bring this comforting soup to life:

  • Sauté aromatics: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

  • Add vegetables: Toss in the chopped celery and cook until tender, approximately 8-10 minutes. The aroma of celery and garlic will start to fill your kitchen, signaling that it's time to move to the next step.

  • Simmer: Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 20 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.

  • Blend: Use an immersion blender or transfer the soup in batches to a blender to puree until smooth. Be cautious with hot liquids—wait for a slight cooling if needed!

  • Finish with cream: Return the pureed soup to the pot, stir in the heavy cream, and warm through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread for a complete meal.

Pro Tips & Serving Suggestions

For a richer flavor: Add a splash of white wine during sautéing or sprinkle with grated Parmesan before serving.


Make it vegetarian: Use vegetable broth and opt for plant-based cream alternatives.


Enhance texture: Top with crispy croutons or a drizzle of olive oil.


Personalize: Incorporate cooked diced potatoes or carrots for added heartiness.
