Celery Soup
Posted by terrepruitt on May 24, 2011
My friend made a comment on my celery post. She offered the recipe for celery soup (it’s in comment #5). Awesome, you know I am on a soup kick. There are a lot of recipes out there for celery soup, of course, but it is nice to have a recipe from a friend. A nice tried and true recipe. I made it tonight, but I made some adjustments.
Since I don’t like pepper, I only put a sprinkle in, but I think this might have kept it from having much flavor so I added the marjoram which — to me — tied the flavors together nicely.
1 bunch celery, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 parsnips, chopped
1 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp marjoram
a sprinkle of black pepper
a sprinkle of salt
48 ozs chicken stock
Sautee onion in olive oil, then add the parsnips. Cook the parsnips for a few minutes. When the parsnips start to get tender, add the celery and spices, cook it for a few minutes. Then add the stock. Let it simmer for awhile, then let it come to a boil. I let it cool for a bit then blend in blender or with a stick blender.
This is becoming my standard method of cooking soup. I have just been changing the ingredients.
I will probably try the celery soup with an apple -as my friend mentions- one of these days. What about you? I would love to hear what you’ve come up with.

YUM!!! Looks delicious. Thanks for sharing! I would add the apple, too. We’re soup nuts, so this is great to learn new recipes. Thanks for posting! Love, Jill

Why hello Jill!
Would you ADD the apple or substitute the parsnip for an apple ( or two)? I believe the recipe is talking about “instead of”, but while I was typing the post I thought of just adding it. Maybe if using a potato because then the apple’s delicate flovor would be able to come through.
I would imagine that you and Frank are soup lovers. It is a bit colder where you are. I am becoming a soup nut now that I decided to use my immersion blender. My friend encouraged me!
Thank you for stopping by, Nia Chick Jill. XOXOXO
