🛒Ingredients
- Onion: Red onion is what I used. It's just a touch sweeter than a yellow onion, but you can use a yellow onion if that's what you have on hand.
- Olive Oil: Choose a good strong extra-virgin olive oil.
- Celery: Celery sweetens when it cooks. It's part of the trinity of most soup bases (onion, celery, carrots) for a reason.
- Potatoes: Potatoes, when pureed, are what give this vegan celery soup it's luscious creaminess.
- Garlic: Garlic gives this soup a bit of a bite.
- Thyme: Earthy, lemony thyme strikes the perfect note in this vegan soup.
- Salt: Salt enhances all the other flavors.
👨🍳How To Make Vegan Celery Soup
- Step 1 - Saute The Veggies: Heat you olive oil in a large pot. Saute your onions, garlic, celery, potatoes, and thyme. Saute for 10 minutes. Add a little water if the vegetables begin to stick.
- Step 2 - Add Broth: Add the vegetable broth and simmer for 15 minutes with the lid off.
- Step 3 - Puree The Soup: Using a stick blender (or a food processor), puree the soup.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with bread.
Top Tip
If you'd like a chunkier soup, reserve a small portion of the sautéed vegetables. After blending, stir them in for added texture and depth of flavor.
