Vegan Cream of Celery Soup
2 cups chopped celery, divided
2 cups chopped carrots, divided
4 TBSP oil
2 cups diced red onion
3 TBSP flour
6 cups hot vegetable broth (preferably homemade), divided
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup soy milk (or cream for the vegetarians)
In a small saucepan add 1 cup celery, 1 cup carrots, and 1 cup vegetable broth. Bring to a boil and cook until just tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and reserve both the vegetable broth and the cooked veggies.
In a large saucepan, over medium high heat, warm the oil. Add the onions and saute until clear. Whisking, add the flour and cook for 2 minutes, making sure the flour does not brown. Add 5 cups vegetable broth and whisk until the mixture boils, making sure you scrape the bottom of the pan. Add the 1 cup uncooked celery and 1 cup uncooked carrots. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat, simmering for 30 minutes. When the vegetables are soft, strain the soup through a sieve and puree the vegetables in a blender with the reserved vegetable broth until creamy. Stir the puree into the liquid. Stir in the soy milk or cream and heat slowly. Serve with the reserved vegetables spooned into each bowl.
My kids absolutely loved this soup! My daughter, who does not prefer soup said, "I finally like a soup!"
" If they answer not your call, walk alone, walk alone."
- Gandhi
" Gandhi pursued simplicity not out of guilt but rather out of necessity,
for the sake of his own spiritual health."
- Philip Yancey
" How carefully do I attend to Jesus' warning against the danger of gaining the
whole world and losing one's soul? Jesus' lifestyle, I must admit,
had much more in common with Gandhi than with mine."
- P.Y.
"So the last will be first and the first will be last."
- Jesus, Matthew 20:16
