Ingredients

Soup

  • 1 head celery, chopped, leaves set aside
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 small starchy potato, peeled and chopped (or substitute ½ bulb celeriac)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cups vegetable stock
  • ¼ cup dill, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Celery Salad Garnish (optional)

  • Celery leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons dill, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for garnish

Instructions

  1. Sauté vegetables: In a small stock pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped celery, onion, and potato, and sauté for about 8 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. Simmer soup: Pour in vegetable stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  3. Blend soup: Carefully transfer the hot soup to a high-speed blender. Add chopped dill and lemon juice. Puree until smooth, taking care with hot liquids. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Prepare garnish: In a small bowl, mix chopped celery leaves, dill, olive oil, salt, and pepper to make the celery salad garnish.
  5. Serve: Pour the pureed soup into bowls, top with the celery salad garnish, and finish with a drizzle of olive oil and additional salt and pepper if desired.

Notes

  • Store leftover soup in a covered container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days and reheat gently over low heat on the stovetop.
  • Using a high-speed blender ensures a smooth and creamy texture. For a chunkier consistency, use an immersion blender or food processor instead.
  • This soup is naturally vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free.
  • For optimal flavor, use fresh dill and lemon juice just before blending.
