41 Best Soup Recipes - Tasting Table

Celery has been having a moment lately. Outlets have been singing the praises of celery juice, and Martha Stewart reportedly adds it into her green juice every morning. But today, we're talking about this vegetable's perhaps lesser-known but just as newsworthy medium: soup. It's a simple ingredient lineup of celery, stock, potato, garlic, and onion — all blended into a velvety purée that's mixed with milk and cream.

This recipe is perfect for a girls' night in, Mother's Day, Easter, a book club gathering, or your next dinner party. (Incidentally, it's also a great way to use up the rest of the leftover celery that ordinarily sits in your fridge and goes bad before you have a chance to use it all.) To complete the meal, pair it with duck confit and a semi-dry white wine like Riesling.
