Cream of celery soup from scratch is way better than the condensed kind from a can! Simple ingredients like butter, celery, milk, flour, and seasonings combine for a rich, creamy soup perfect for casseroles or on its own.<\/p>\n

\n<\/picture>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nGrowing up my family attended many potluck dinners typically held at our church after Sunday services. I loved to socialize with all my friends and of course sample each of the many desserts \u2013 after all, I was a kid and was NOT thinking about moderation or healthy real food choices!<\/em><\/p>\n I think I would still enjoy a church potluck\u2026 but it might have to be minus the food! And not because I am worried about my waistline, but thinking back to those potlucks, nearly every dish was a casserole.<\/p>\n What is so wrong with a casserole?<\/em><\/p>\n NOTHING.<\/strong> I love creamy dishes<\/a> and layered bakes<\/a>! But let\u2019s be honest. The casseroles most people are serving start with canned cream of soups \u2013 Yikes!!<\/p>\n On our journey to eating real food<\/a>, canned cream soup had to go away PERMANENTLY! And so many people think that when you toss these cans that are full of preservatives and chemicals<\/a>, you have to say goodbye to casseroles.<\/p>\n I have good news for you.<\/p>\n This cream of celery soup recipe is a perfect replacement for canned condensed cream of celery soup.<\/p>\n You can have any casserole with cream of celery soup you desire, and it will taste a million times better. And it will only take a few extra minutes, I promise!<\/p>\n Not only is this celery soup recipe a perfect base for all your casserole favorites, it\u2019s also:<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what you need for the homemade cream of celery soup recipe.<\/p>\n Psst! If you\u2019re going to add salt, I highly recommend Ava Jane\u2019s Kitchen. You may think all salt is created equal, but unfortunately, 90% of the salt produced around the world contains microplastics<\/a> (gross, right?). Ava Jane\u2019s Kitchen is an exception. Their salt is 100% microplastic-free, and it\u2019s SO GOOD! Plus, you can get a free 8oz. bag of sea salt (just pay shipping and handling!)<\/em><\/p>\n This recipe of celery soup can be adapted to fit your dietary needs and preferences.<\/p>\n Step 1. Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed stock pan<\/a> over medium heat. <\/strong>Add diced celery stalks, salt<\/a>, celery salt, and pepper. Saut\u00e9 until the celery begins to soften, stirring occasionally \u2013 about 5 to 7 minutes.<\/p>\n Step 2. Add flour<\/a> <\/strong>to the pan and stir to coat. Cook for 1 additional minute.<\/p>\n Step 3. Add milk and broth, <\/strong>whisking<\/a> to incorporate the flour into the liquid. Bring to a boil and whisk well until the mixture is quite thick \u2013 anywhere from 2 to 5 minutes. Remove the soup from the heat and enjoy it as is or use it in your favorite celery soups recipes!<\/p>\n If you like, you can blend the soup using an immersion blender<\/a> or blender<\/a> (be careful when blending hot liquids!) for a smooth and creamy celery soup.<\/p>\n Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container<\/a> for 4-5 days. You can also put this soup in the freezer for up to three months. I like to use these bags<\/a>. Pulling a bag of cream soup from the freezer is just about as easy as pulling a can from the pantry!<\/p>\n This recipe makes the equivalent of one 10.5 oz can of cream of celery soup.<\/p>\n You can use this celery soup recipe as a base in all your favorite recipes using cream of celery soup.<\/p>\n Plus, it would be delicious served alone for lunch with a slice of Homemade Bread<\/a> for dipping!<\/p>\n Does a real foodie even eat recipes with cream of celery soup like casseroles?<\/p>\n Sure!<\/p>\n Eating real food is a lifestyle. We\u2019re not on a diet here, folks!<\/p>\n What we can <\/em>do is make sure that our creamy celery soup recipes and casseroles are made with real food ingredients, AND that we\u2019re accurately tracking what we eat so that we can stay in line with our nutrition goals.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve got you covered with the real food ingredients.<\/p>\n As for tracking, figure out what\u2019s in your favorite casserole and what portion you\u2019re actually eating. A free app like My Fitness Pal can help with this.<\/p>\n Look at the macro data \u2013 do you need to add more protein to your plate? Take a smaller serving to lower the total carbohydrates? Keep the fat where it is but fill your plate with fresh fruits and vegetables so that you actually feel satisfied with the amount of food you\u2019re eating?<\/p>\n You have plenty of options for including your favorite casseroles in your real food lifestyle.<\/p>\n Want to learn more about macros, nutrition goals, and accurately tracking what you eat?

Just swap out the all-purpose flour for gluten-free flour<\/a> or cornstarch<\/a>. Use 1 Tablespoon less (so just 3 Tablespoons total instead of \u00bc cup). You may notice a slight difference in texture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The word \u2018condensed\u2019 means it is a soup that is made with a minimal amount of liquid and generally has a thick texture. This recipe is rich and creamy but isn\u2019t really a \u2018condensed\u2019 soup like the canned version. Consider it more of the \u201ccondensed soup plus some of the liquid you would add to it\u201d version.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Sign up for my FREE Fight Inflation Workshop<\/strong>\u00a0and learn simple strategies to save money, even with rising food costs!\n\t\t\t\t <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\nCREAM OF CELERY SOUP<\/h2>\n
