Ingredients Needed

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ onion, diced
• 1 large garlic clove, minced or finely diced
• 1 teaspoon herbs de Provence or dried thyme
• 1 bunch celery, diced (include any celery leaves)
• 2 small red apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced (or white potato)
• 2.5 cups (600ml) vegetable broth
• ½ cup (120ml) non-dairy milk
• Pinch salt
• Pinch black pepper (optional)

How To Make Apple Celery Soup​

1. Cook Onion: Drizzle olive oil in a large soup pot and cook the diced onion for 2-3 minutes until softened.
2. Add Garlic & Herbs: Add the minced garlic, herbs de Provence, and diced celery. Stir to combine.
3. Incorporate Apples & Potato: Add the diced sweet potato and apples. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
4. Add Broth: Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook for 20-22 minutes until the sweet potato (or white potato) is fork-tender.
5. Blend Soup: Pour in the non-dairy milk and blend the soup using an immersion blender or transfer batches to a food processor. Heat for a few minutes in the pot if required.
6. Season & Serve: Season with salt and black pepper (optional) to taste, then ladle into your serving bowls.

Recipe Tips

• Choose the Right Apples: Use sweet apples like Fuji or Honeycrisp for the best flavor contrast with the celery. They will add a natural sweetness to the soup.
• Cook Celery Thoroughly: Make sure to cook the celery until it’s soft, as this helps release its flavor and creates a smooth texture in the soup.
• Adjust Consistency: If you prefer a thicker soup, add less broth or blend only part of the soup. For a thinner soup, add more broth or non-dairy milk.
• Garnish for Extra Flavor: Consider adding a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil on top before serving. This adds a fresh finish and enhances the presentation.

How To Store And Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: First, let the leftover Apple Celery Soup cool until it reaches room temperature. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: If you want to freeze the soup, let it cool completely, then pour it into freezer-safe containers. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. To thaw, place it in the fridge overnight before reheating.
• Reheat: Pour the soup into a pot over medium heat. Stir occasionally and heat for about 5-10 minutes until it’s warmed through.
