🍳 Recipe Information

Celery-Leek Soup With Potato and Parsley

This celery-forward soup is in essence a potato-leek soup that substitutes most of the potatoes with brighter celery, and skips the vast quantities of cream in the original, resulting in a lighter flavor and texture. Woodsy herbs like thyme and bay leaves, and fresh, raw parsley give the soup its intensely green, almost grassy taste. It’s worth trying the soup without dairy, then admiring the transformative effect of a splash of crème fraîche or cream, which subdues the louder celery notes.

⏰ Total: 45m 👥 Serves: 6 to 8 servings (about 9 1/2 cups)
Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
  • 2 large leeks (about 10 ounces each), halved lengthwise, thinly sliced crosswise and cleaned (about 3 cups)
  • 3 garlic cloves, sliced
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pound celery (about 1 large bunch), leaves reserved, stalks trimmed, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 large russet potato (about 12 ounces), peeled and roughly chopped
  • 3 fresh bay leaves
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 7 cups chicken or vegetable stock
  • 1 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves, plus more for garnish
  • Crème fraĂ®che or heavy cream, for serving
Instructions:
  1. In a large pot, heat the 1/4 cup oil over medium. Add the leeks and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until meltingly tender, about 7 minutes.
  2. Add the celery, potato, bay leaves and thyme, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the wine to deglaze, then cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is almost dry, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the stock and bring to boil over high. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until all the vegetables are fully tender and soft, about 20 minutes. Discard the bay leaves, then stir in 1 cup parsley leaves.
  4. Working in two or three batches, transfer the soup to a blender and purée until smooth. (It’s almost always beneficial to let the soup blend for another minute or two past what seems necessary to emulsify as much as possible.) Season generously with salt and pepper.
  5. Transfer to bowls. Drizzle with olive oil; garnish with reserved celery leaves and parsley, and sprinkle with pepper. Serve with a dollop of crème fraîche or a drizzle of heavy cream.

Unfortunately I learned that the rubber stopper on top the blender that allows you to drizzle in oil to emulsify liquids will also pop open when blending very hot soups. Took a droplet right to the eye(lid, fortunately), and across much of the counter and cabinetry.\nStill, now I know, and I would make this again. I do love celery and parsley (next time I’ll make effort to have fresh parsley on hand).",

Woodsy herbs like thyme and bay leaves, and fresh, raw parsley give the soup its intensely green, almost grassy taste. It’s worth trying the soup without dairy, then admiring the transformative effect of a splash of crème fraîche or cream, which subdues the louder celery notes.",
