Ingredients

• 6 pieces celery stalks
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium, chopped onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 medium, peeled and diced potato
• 4 cups chicken stock (or vegetable stock for vegetarian option)
• 1 cup milk
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoon (adjust to taste) black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) fresh parsley
• 4 slices (optional, for serving) crusty bread

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the celery stalks, then chop them into small pieces.

Step 2

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped celery and diced potato to the pot. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the butter.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, or until the celery and potato are tender.

Step 6

Remove the pot from the heat and allow the soup to cool slightly. Use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a countertop blender to puree the soup until smooth. Be cautious with hot liquids during blending.

Step 7

Return the pureed soup to the pot. Stir in the milk and heavy cream. Warm the soup gently over low heat without letting it boil.

Step 8

Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Ladle the hot celery soup into bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve with slices of crusty bread on the side.
