This vegan celery soup is a light and flavourful lunch idea, and perfect for the colder months. It is bursting with healthy ingredients, and includes potato and zucchini to make it a little heartier. Very tasty and easy to make!

Soups are very much a go-to when the temperature drops and salads aren't quite so appealing. For fall I love my butternut squash and apple soup and my turmeric chicken soup is light but filling.
Love celery? You may like to see my celery and cucumber smoothie as a healthy breakfast option!
This vegan celery soup has a lightness from the vegetables, but feels a bit more substantial with the potatoes. If you like celery juice perhaps I can tempt you to try celery in soup form too!

🔪 Step by step instructions
Just a few steps to make this vegan celery soup, and all are easy to do:
- Heat the olive in a large saucepan and add the celery, potatoes, zucchini and garlic (if using), salt and herbs. Add a splash of water to stop the potatoes from sticking. Cook, stirring frequently and adding more water if necessary.
- Pour the broth into the pan and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Blend the soup with an immersion blender. Add the milk, give it a good stir or blend again. Return to the heat to warm up if needed. Add more salt to taste, and the sesame seeds and mint to garnish, if using.
💭 Recipe tips and notes
- Adjust quantities slightly if you want a thicker (or thinner) soup. A little more potato will thicken the soup if you prefer something heartier.
- An immersion blender makes it easy to blend the soup, but you can also transfer in batches to a food processor to blend.
- The recipe is gluten free, but check the ingredients for the vegetable broth if using a store-bought brand.

Notes
- If the potatoes are sticking to the pan initially, add a touch of water.

Thank you for posting your website, I have found it to be very helpful in navigating my histamine intolerance. Love this soup! I did play with it a little bit by adding cauliflower, herbs de provence with extra lavender and used coconut milk. Looking forward to cooking in the kitchen with you more!

So glad you like the website and the recipe! Adding cauliflower sounds really good - and made it a little thicker I'm guessing. I'll have to give that a try 🙂
