i thought hte recipe lovely and so simple to do, a bonus when your short of time
I always loved celery soup by heinz in a tin, but they stopped making it a few years ago so i looked on the net and found this recipe not the same taste as tinned but still lovely, nice one.
This is a beautiful – and simple – soup: thank you so much for the recipe: we love it!
my little boy does not like celery, but he loves the celery soup that i got off your site. It was so simple to do.Thank you very much!!
A lovely easy recipe, very tasty too. I always think that freshly made soup is much better than any tinned soup.
i put a couple of cloves of garlic in my celery soup,instead of flour to thicken use potatoes.gorgeous.
Thank you for making this recipe so available. I substitute potato or mashed broad beans as thickener to make it wheat-free. Also I love just a hint of carrot – colour flecks and flavor enhancer!
Absolutely georgeous! my hiusband made this last night and it really is one of the nicest soups I have tasted. thanks for the recipe.
The best celery soup recipe I have come across. Thank you.
thanks for this great recipe, it was so easy to make and very tasty.
great tasting soup and I don’t even like celery!!
Excellent soup,the celery I used was at least two weeks old and this was still a very tasty soup, even my son loved it and he is not struck on celery.
I will definitely be making this again, next time with fresh celery.
Really quick to make, excellent taste, good way to use up your celery, everyone in my family loved it, shall be making mushroom soup tomorrow. Thank you for this lovely recipe.
Made this last night, lovely, even my friends who weren’t fans of celery enjoyed it. Added a clove of garlic and a few baby new potatos, yum.
I’ve never made soup but I followed this one it turned out fantastic. I was so proud of myself, even my mother in law enjoyed it. Not one for the kids though, well not my eldest must try more. Will definitely make again.
I had a lump of Stilton in the fridge and crumbled this into the soup at the end. Lovely!
Lovely soup – easy to make and tastes great – its nice to have such a lovely simple recipe that actually works, I’m well impressed with this.
Thanks so much. Searched for a simple recipe and look forward to trying it tonight!
I bought a celery from the greengrocers with masses of top leaf still on it. I’ve just made this soup, and included the leaves in the 900g of celery. I also added a little celery salt and white pepper. I make a lot of soups, and this is without doubt one of the best recipes that i have done. Fantastic.
