      It’s me again… I’m just now enjoying my creamy celery soup and omg… I mean omg…BOOM!!
      Tastes so good! I rushed the celery though, but it’s actually pretty soft but next time I’m gonna go at least ten minutes more!
      Thanks again, I love it, and I can feel it doing me good already! YUMMY 😋

    For some reason I have been craving cream of celery soup, probably the snow outside! I am glad to have your recipe as most all other recipes I have found online require a blender. Since I don't have my blender available as I'm moving and in a temporary location, I can make cream of celery soup. Your recipe also allows you to actually eat bits of celery as the blended recipies puree the vegetable. Thanks for posting! Am looking forward to watching your other videos. 👍

    Great presentation. Tks for posting. I hear your concern that the celery pieces are well cooked. That's why I would start them ahead of the onions. Personal thing but I like finely sliced celery tops in my soup - great nutrition and big on flavour.

    • @ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood
      @ChefJohnPolitteItsOnlyFood  4 роки тому

      Yes, absolutely. Just be sure to reduce the cream a bit to thicken. It will change the volume of the soup, therefore reducing the servings, but no by much. Great question.
