Cream of Celery Soup

Teresa Ambra
Cream of Celery Soup is a healthy and delicious soup that's perfect for cold, winter nights. This recipe reheats well for lunches, too. It's thickened with potatoes rather than flour so it's gluten free. Additionally, it's very economical and won't break the bank to make! This smooth and creamy soup is just what the doctor ordered when you're looking for something hot to warm you up during the cooler months of the year.
