Homemade Cream of Celery Soup is a simple, gluten-free 1:1 swap for canned soup. Made with fresh celery, heavy cream, milk, and simple pantry seasonings!

Ingredients

2 Tbsp salted butter ($0.22)

1 cup celery (diced very small, (2-3 stalks, including greens), $0.32)

1 tsp garlic powder ($0.05)

1 tsp onion powder ($0.05)

½ tsp salt ($0.01)

½ cup heavy whipping cream (room temperature, $0.66)

1 cup whole milk (room temperature, $0.28)

1 tsp cornstarch ($0.05)

Instructions

1 Gather your ingredients.

2 Dice the celery into very small pieces.

3 Melt butter and add celery, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and sauté 6-8 minutes.

4 Add room temperature cream and milk and allow it to reduce by 1/4, stirring often, reincorporating any “skin” that forms on the surface, gently simmering for 8-10 minutes

5 Make a slurry with cornstarch and some of the cream-milk mixture. Add the slurry to the pan, and stir to thicken. Once the soup has reduced or thickened to about 2/3 of its original volume, it’s done!
