Vegan celery soup

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.

And for another green soup idea, you may like to see my asparagus broccoli soup - it's bursting with healthy vitamins!

This dairy-free 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!

Ingredients

The main ingredients for this soup are:

• Celery - the main ingredient, it has a lovely flavour when cooked.
• Potatoes and zucchini - for extra flavour and to thicken the soup.
• Vegetable broth and non-dairy milk - for flavour and to add a creaminess to the soup.
• Herbs and garlic - to flavour the soup.

Make sure to see the recipe card below for the full ingredients list and quantities!

Step by step instructions

1. 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.
2. Pour the broth into the pan and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. 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.

Notes

• If the potatoes are sticking to the pan initially, add a touch of water.
• You can either use an immersion blender or transfer batches to a food processor to blend.
• Use a non-dairy milk that works best for you. The type will very slightly change the taste of the soup.
