This recipe didn’t start as an original of mine…I found it online, along with numerous other versions after searching “gluten free cream of celery soup.” There were so many to choose from with many vegan options as well.
My final decision led me to this recipe and of course, I did some tweaking.
My version uses 24 oz of frozen mirepoix Cajun style vegetable mix instead of just 2 cups of chopped celery in the original recipe and I am thrilled with the result…I would suggest adding some chopped onions along with the celery if you are following the original.
And speaking of immersion blenders, I did a review here comparing 2 different brands…it’s worth taking a look!
Enjoy!
