Ingredients of Broccoli Celery Soup

How to make broccoli and celery soup

Get a pot that is large enough to hold all the ingredients (preferably 3-quart or larger). Pour oil in and heat it up. Add onion and sauté. Meanwhile, chop broccoli stem (yes, you will use it up) into smaller pieces and divide the head into florets. Dice celery.

When ready, turn off the heat and puree the broccoli celery soup until smooth. Taste it and add seasoning, if needed.

Tips for making the best broccoli celery soup

  • Because there are only 3 main ingredients in this creamy broccoli celery soup – broccoli, celery and onion, make sure to use good quality ones. And if you can, they should be as fresh as possible – make sure your broccoli has nice dark green color, the stalk is firm to touch. If the stalk is wilted or if some of the florets are yellowish, avoid buying it. As for the celery – if the stalks are firm the celery is fresh.
  • Meat eaters, feel free use chicken or turkey stock/broth instead of vegetable broth, if that’s what you have on hand. You can also add cream (about ½ cup is enough) to make it richer, but it’s not needed.
  • Olive oil can be substituted with vegetable or sunflower oil.
  • You can use either red, yellow or white onion.

Instructions 

  • In a large pot, heat the oil. Add minced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until translucent. Meanwhile, dice the celery. Divide broccoli into florets and cut the stem into smaller pieces. Add the chopped broccoli stem and celery into the pot and pour vegetable broth over. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until the broccoli stems are soft.
  • Then, add broccoli florets, 1 cup of water, salt and pepper. Bring it to a boil again and then simmer on low heat for 5 minutes or until the florets are tender. Turn off the heat and puree the soup until smooth.
  • Taste it and add more seasoning, if needed!
  • Serve as is or top it with croutons and drizzle with little olive oil.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  1. 1 large broccoli = about 5 cups of florets.
  2. Non-vegans can substitute vegetable broth with chicken/Turkey Stock.
  3. You will get 5 healthy portions (1 and a ¼ cup of soup per person) or 4 generous ones out of this recipe. You can easily double it, if needed.
  4. I don’t recommend serving this soup instead of a main meal – it will not be enough for adults.

    I made this soup with my husband and adult son in mind as they are doing a detox/cleanse. I was super impressed by the limited ingredients so thought it would be worth a try. It was a hit with all of us. Surprisingly tasteful and satisfying. Since we couldn’t top with croutons we topped with dried crunchy cauliflower bites. Delicious! I will be adding this to my regular rotation of meals.5 stars

    Just made this…with “slight” modifications…

    I added about 1/4 cup of butter because I didn’t have any broth/stock and needed the flavour.
    I used 3 cups water total instead of 2 cups broth/stock + 1 cup water.
    I added about 1/4 cup of chopped leeks.
    I threw in some stewed beef pieces and left about 1 cup of the vegetables whole (diced) because my family likes something to chew on and I wanted this to be a filling dinner!
    Oh and I squeezed a bit of lemon juice to balance the flavours.

    Good stuff…but now that I read through my comment…I seemed to have made up my own recipe ;)
    Thanks for the base!

    Wow, you just opened a whole new world of tasty and healthy food for me. Not to even mention that the cost of this meal is also so low.

    I had pizza last night, and felt like sooo guilty about it. So today I decide to have something healthy and found this recipe after having a bag of spare broccoli in the fridge. I had some nice fancy caramelized onion and cheddar croutons lying around to go with it.

    All I can say is that I totally prefer this meal to the pizza I had yesterday. Not only does it cost much less, but it has amazing flavor and because of the simplicity and low number of ingredients, it is like super healthy and have a very low calorie count.

    Thank you so much for the recipe ♥5 stars

    Oh my gosh…I LOVE this soup! It’s so incredibly healthy plus a perfect meal as I’m successfully knocking off some unwanted pounds.

    I doubled the recipe but next time I’m going to quadruple it. I also used brocollini vs broccoli. Yum!

    I’m looking forward to trying your other low carb/low fat, healthy, whole food recipes!5 stars

    I loved it! I’ve been having this for dinner while eating normally low carb for breakfast and lunch. I am losing one pound a day! Can you recommend another detoxy recipe from your site? Thank you again.

      That’s good to hear! I would say any of the vegetable creamy soups are good – they either contain only a little bit of cream or are made completely without, if that is what you prefer. I would pair them with a salad or something else though as some might be too light on their own for a complete meal. Hope this helps!

    I think you mean ‘ribs’ of celery, not ‘stalks’.
    That would be celery soup, for sure!

      Hi Gail. The recipe calls for stalks of celery which many also call ribs or sticks. It definitely is not the whole bunch which is also known as stalk or head. It can definitely get confusing so I could write an explanatory note for those not certain about the amount that needed to be used. Thanks for pointing it out!
