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.
