Recipe: Apple Celery Soup

Apple Celery Soup is easy to make, healthy, comforting, delicious home made soup. Ideal way to include celery in your diet. Well at least if you have ‘don’t like celery’ people in your family. While I enjoy tender celery sticks with cream cheese or finely chopped in salads, hubby is not a fan of raw celery.

Therefore, the only way to get some celery included in his diet is through soups, in casseroles and occasionally in a juice if paired with fruits.

Actually, come to think of it, I will not pick up celery like say we pick up potatoes or mushrooms at the grocery. It is bought if I have a specific recipe in mind. I like apple celery soup because of the balance of flavours it offers and the slight creaminess without the cream. With so many different varieties of apples the taste of the soup depends on them. Use green ones only and you get a slightly tangy taste. Use honey crisp and you will get a slight honey taste.

    Wow I am loving this recipe with all the ingredients that are available here locally and easily. And the bonus is made using celery, which I find difficult to add to kids diet. Bookmarking this to try soon.

    I will say this is a great way to use celery in a recipe. I tend not to use it much. Putting it in soup combined with apples sounds delicious and nutritious.

    The mild contrast of flavours from apple and celery sounds and looks delish. We are always for new Soup varieties anytime of the year 👍

    I’m that used to making a cream of celery soup that this makes a refreshing change! I’ve had apple and celery in salads and wondered if a soup

    I had to use powdered ginger, garlic powder and my own stewed apple from the freezer. Doubtless, fresh ingredients would’ve been better.However, the soup tasted great, regardless.

    Thank you!
