This is an easy creamy celery soup and tastes as divine as it looks. Fresh juicy celery with all it's wonderful fragrance makes an easy and wonderful soup for your family and friends. Add a few things to make it your main dish or serve it as a side dish! Then try these delicious soups Watercress Soup, Easy Garlic Soup, or Colorful Creamy Pumpkin Soup!

It will keep in the refrigerator for several days but if you do want to keep it to use later, don't add the cream until you need it. Instead, reheat the soup and then add the cream just before serving.

Celery is not only good for making this soup but is one of the vegetables to have ready when you need to make a good stock or soup as it can be used with carrots, onions and garlic to flavor many, many dishes. I always keep some in my refrigerator at the ready.

What To Serve With This Soup

If celery soup is your main dish:

• Serve it with French bread or crusty baguettes.
• A quick and easy salad like Lyonaise Salad.
• For something different Pissaladière, a pizza "like" dish.
