Ingredients

Vegetables - for this soup, you only need a few carrots and a head of celery, but you could absolutely add more!

Vegetables with a mild flavor, such as leek, courgette, or parsnip, are perfect additions to this recipe.

Stock - I recommend vegetable stock for this recipe, but any stock will do. Did you know it is super easy to make your own stock from leftover vegetables?

Seasoning - I only use salt and pepper in this recipe, but you could add some thyme or rosemary and a bay leave.

How to make carrot and celery soup

Clean the vegetables and cut them into small pieces. It is important to make sure the pieces are about the same size, so they cook evenly.

Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the onion until soft and translucent. Add the carrot and celery.

Cook them for about 2 minutes before adding the stock. Bring the soup to a boil and let it simmer for 20 minutes until all the vegetables are soft enough to puree.

Use a hand blender to puree the soup and season with salt and pepper.

Equipment

An immersion blender to puree the vegetables. This is totally optional. If you like a more chunky soup, you can ignore this step.
A large (soup)pan.

Storage

This carrot and celery soup will keep for about 2-3 days in the fridge. If you want to keep it longer, I recommend freezing it.

You can keep it in the freezer for about six months.

There is no need to thaw it before warming it up. Add it to a saucepan and warm it on the stove or in a heatproof bowl in the microwave.
