Is this a cream of celery soup recipe
Technically, cream of celery soup has (you guessed it!) cream in the ingredients. Instead of cream, this recipe uses potatoes to make the soup beautifully creamy.
Can I freeze celery for soup?
Yes! When you thaw frozen celery, it will turn limp. But it still works great in blended recipes, like this celery soup.

Kristen, I do not eat potatoes, so could i use rice instead of potatoes?
Sincerely,

If you have a high powered blender then rice might work. I’d be a little worried that the texture would be slightly gritty with rice, but it’s definitely worth a shot!
I am always on the lookout for simple but yet healthy recipes. This is absolutely one of them. So simple to make and sooooo amazingly delicious. I was able to use up all the celery from my vegetable garden at the end of the season. Thanks Kristen!

You’re very welcome!
Can you freeze the prepared soup?
While I haven’t tried it, I don’t recommend it. Soups made with potatoes don’t typically freeze well as potatoes become grainy when frozen.
This was surprisingly good! We had some celery in the fridge that needed to be used and this is what we did with it. Will make it again!

That’s wonderful to hear!
This was super easy to make and so delicious. I added a lemon blueberry Irish Soda bread I had picked up at Sprouts. Boy was that a great suggestion. I’ll be making this again.

That is so wonderful to hear! Yay!
Hi this looks delicious! I have everything except the potatoes… could I replace with dairy cream since I have that and how much?
Thank you!

You could definitely add cream to this recipe. While I haven’t tried it, I would suggest starting with ½ cup and adding more to taste. 🙂
