Cream of Celery Soup

Cream of Celery Soup

This Cream of Celery Soup is vegan, gluten free and bursting with flavor.  It’s hard to imagine that celery is the main ingredient.  I’ve always known there is so much more you can do with celery than just use it as a base for soup or sauce.   I’ve been thinking about this for a long time when the idea of making a Cream of Celery Soup kind of just popped into my head.  This soup came out way better than I imagined and I already had high expectations . The one word that came to mind when I tasted it was,  “OMG”. I wanted to keep this soup  vegan but would not compromise on flavor. I added some nutritional yeast* and lots of onion and garlic.  It also  has an added depth of flavor that you get from roasting the vegetables first.  I could not wait for my in house food critic to home and try it.  When he finally tasted it, he declared it “mmmm”.  That’s all the endorsement I need.
