Number Of Ingredients 15

4 Tbsp (1/4 cup) butter
2 c leeks, washed and sliced
1 c white onions, chopped
5 c celery, diced
1 c (8 oz) sliced water chestnuts
ground himalayan sea salt
2 large cloves garlic, pressed
1/3 c unbleached all-purpose flour

freshly ground black pepper, to taste (i always use mixed peppercorns)
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 c 35% heavy cream, plus more for garnish
celery leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. In a Dutch oven over medium heat, add butter and when melted and it starts sizzling, throw in leeks, white onions, celery and water chestnuts. Sprinkle on some salt to help sweat the vegetables, stir well, and cover for 2 minutes. Stir again and cover for an additional 2 minutes.
  • 2. Uncover and add pressed garlic; sauté for 1 minute. Add flour and stir to coat before pouring chicken broth; season with celery salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and lemon juice. Stir and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
  • 3. Using an immersion blender, process to your liking; smooth or with little chunks in it. Stir in heavy cream; taste and adjust if necessary. Spoon soup in warm bowls, drizzle on some heavy cream and garnish with celery leaves. Serves 8

This soup is a great make-ahead meal. I made it on the weekend and then reheated it during the week for lunch. It was just as good the second time around.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great. I let it cook on low for about 6 hours and it was so flavorful. I served it with some crusty bread and it was a perfect meal.

I'm not a huge fan of celery, but this soup was surprisingly good. The creaminess of the soup balanced out the celery flavor perfectly. I would definitely recommend this soup to others.

This soup is delicious! I made it for my family last night and they loved it. It's so creamy and flavorful, and the celery gives it a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again.
