I try to keep most of my recipes as simple as possible – the less ingredients and preparation the better. This celery soup is one of those recipes – a little bit of chopping, throw it all in the soup maker and 21 minutes later you’ve got a delicious and nutritious soup!
I’ll be honest with you, I’m really not a fan of celery (sorry celery). I really want to like it but it’s one of those foods that just doesn’t get on with my taste buds. Although I do include it in some soups, it’s not usually the main ingredient.
So, I was all prepared with my chilli flakes on hand, to sprinkle over the soup, to disguise all taste of celery – but here I am, already on my second bowl, without a chilli flake dispensed! Oh soup maker, you do have magical powers 😉
HOW TO MAKE CELERY SOUP
For this celery soup I wanted it simple yet thick/creamy in texture. When I want to thicken up a soup I usually add in chopped potato but you can also use cream (just stir it in at the end).
The only ingredients in this celery soup are;
- 400g celery, chopped
- 200g potatoes, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed
- 800ml chicken stock (or you can use vegetable stock).
I didn’t bother with any sautéeing, it just all went in the soup maker. I gave it a quick stir and then set it off on smooth.
HOW MANY CALORIES IN CELERY SOUP?
Now I’ve double and tripled checked my numbers, and it would seem that I am correct – this celery soup contains 209 calories – which works out at just 52 calories per serving! – the perfect excuse to have double helpings 🙂 Quite possibly the lowest calorie soup I have ever made. No wonder so many people use it as a weight loss food.

Great recipe Liana. I used it in my Morphy Richards Soup maker. Perfect!! Added a few crumbs of Saint Agur Blue Cheese in the bowl before serving. Magic....

Like you I’m not a fan of celery but I love celery soup. The only thing I do differently is add a chopped onion instead of garlic. Perfect with some chunky bread to mop it up with

I had 1/2 bag of potatoes and a bag of celery that needed using up - this soup was stunning! Super quick, filling and delicious! I added a dash of cream at the end and salt and pepper on serving - thank you!

How I wish I had used your recipe for Celery Soup instead of the one that was in the instruction leaflet - mainly because it didn't mention garlic, and I am sure that next time I make it I will be using your recipe. However it was a lovely soup, and like you, I was no fan of Celery soup, but oh boy I am now! I have just ordered your recipe book too, because so far, everything I have seen has been so tempting - like your air fryer recipes, which are also superb. I only wish I had bought a soup maker with a keep warm facility, but thank goodness for the microwave to warm it up when I needed an extra bowlful. Thank you so much for all your time and effort in putting together the recipes and allowing us all a chance to share them and get more out of my new toys!

I just tried the Celery Soup, after reading on the Group Page. Oh goodness, it should have a warning, too good to be healthy! Delicious, only 52 Calories a bowl, about 100 odd calories later I’m still beaming. Incidentally, I also utilised another Kitchen must have, my digi scale. Put the Kettle on it and weighed ingredients straight in, game changer. I’m usually a throw it in kind a girl, but this necessitated following properly. Thank you x
