Ingredients

• 6 pieces celery stalks
• 1 medium onion
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 cups vegetable stock
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 ounces blue cheese
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash the celery stalks thoroughly and chop them into small slices. Peel and dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped celery and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the celery mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually pour in the vegetable stock, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes, until the celery is tender.

Step 7

Using an immersion blender (or transferring in batches to a countertop blender), purée the soup until smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Return the soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream, crumbled blue cheese, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the soup is well combined.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If the soup is too thick, add a little more vegetable stock or water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 10

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm with crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
