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.

I have a Morphy Richards compact soup maker. All the recipes are for 4 people how do i reduce the amount for 2/3 people do i use the same amount of ingredients but use less liquid?
Hi Brian – you can just reduce the liquid but you may end up with a soup that is too thick for your liking. I would in most cases reduce the ingredients by around 1/3 – but it only needs to be a rough approximation.
For example if a recipe calls for 600g of butternut squash you can put in 400g, but if you add more (rather than waste it) you won’t ruin the soup, it’ll just be a little thicker.
For this celery soup recipe I would try 270g celery, 130g potato, 2 cloves garlic and 530ml stock – but only as a rough guideline – you can add more or less of each ingredient, just make sure you fall within the MIN and MAX lines of your soup maker.
I hope that makes sense? I’m working on getting a recipe converter installed so that you can change the servings on each recipe and get the correct conversions. If you have any further questions please just ask.
Hi Brian ,
Have you thought about making the full amount then freezing what you don’t use? I live alone so make soup then freeze for a handy quick lunch on another day.
Hi Sandy – that is a great idea for the larger soup makers, however, I think Brian has the smaller ‘compact’ Morphy Richards which has a smaller capacity. It’s great to make extra though and store, I love having them on standby 🙂
I’ve just made this – well almost, I changed a couple of ingredients. I had a couple of sweet potatoes that were close to going mushy, so I used them in place of some of the potato, and I didn’t have any garlic so I used an onion. Still the best soup I’ve made!
That’s why I’ve bookmarked this site, the recipes are so good, they’re easy to adapt.
Thanks for your comment Dave 🙂 I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed your soup!
Yeah not many recipes in the booklet that came with the soup maker, so to find your way on how to make celery ( not my most fav: either, I have to say) soup was quite a revelation.
My celery was getting to be on the limp side, as I can’t bare waste and fortunately had all the ingredients set to have a go…
You could have knocked me over with a limp celery stick (if there were any left over) , just a smidgen of cream and 🍵mmmmm
Can’t wait to try the others.
Thanks Liana 👏🏻🤗
Hi Deborah – thanks very much for your message, I’m glad your celery didn’t go to waste! 🙂
Oh this soup was so delicious! Didn’t tell my husband it was celery as he hates celery, afterwards he said it was the best soup I’ve made in the soup maker. Would thoroughly recommend.
Hi Gill – haha, this is one of my favourite comments! I love that you didn’t tell your husband it was celery, it’s totally the sort of thing I would do to my husband 😉 I don’t actually like celery either, but I love this soup. It’s the only way I have celery now, unless it is heavily disguised in a dish!
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!
Hi Phyllis! Thanks for your comment and thank you for ordering my recipe book, I hope you enjoy the recipes! If you have any questions please feel free to ask – happy souping!
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
I’m so glad you enjoyed it Patt! I love celery soup and I don’t really like celery! Great idea re digi scale too 🙂
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!
Sounds lovely Caron! 🙂
