This is a wonderfully creamy soup to serve on a cold fall or winter day.
Cream of Celery Soup
- ¼ cup butter
- 1 small yellow onion (about 1 cup) finely chopped
- 2 cups celery, very finely chopped
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- ⅓ cup flour
- 1½ cup chicken broth
- 1½ cup whole milk
- 1 tsp. salt
- ½ tsp. sugar
⅛ tsp. freshly ground pepper
Melt butter in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, and garlic. Cook until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in flour and cook for another minute. Flour may brown a little but that is okay.
Whisk the mixture as broth and milk are slowly added to prevent clumps from forming. Increase the heat and bring to a simmer.
Reduce heat to medium, add the salt, sugar, and pepper. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Enjoy!
