Here is a Indian style celery soup that can perk you up even on a gloomy day. It is both flavourful and soothing, which works wonders to cheer up the soul.
This healthy celery soup has neither corn flour nor cream, but is amazingly tasty. Wholesome milk gives the soup a balanced and rich flavour, which also providing you with calcium and protein.
Celery, on the other hand, gives you loads of calcium and vitamin A , which spells more goodness for pregnant women. A dash of pepper is all that’s needed to make the Indian style celery soup a very tasteful experience!
Notes on Indian style celery soup. 1. Ensure to use good quality, light-colored, crisp celery that’s very fresh and full of flavor. We are just using the stalk and not leaves for the cream of celery soup. Chopping the celery finely will prevent fibrous texture. 2. Add 1½ cups of water. The liquid should be just enough to cover the veggies. Instead of water, you can make use of vegetable broth if available. 3. If blending warm soup, fill mixer jar halfway, cover tightly with a lid and kitchen towel, hold it firmly and then blend from low to high mode to prevent a blender “explosion”. 4. Add the milk. Traditionally, it is made with butter and heavy cream but we are using milk for that creamy texture. If you are vegan, make use of cashew cream, almond or soy milk. You can add more or less milk to attain consistency of your desire but, generally, cream soups are thick.

I doubled the amount of potatoes and added only quarter the given amount of milk and cornstarch. Also I used non-dairy milk. It has a delicate celery flavour with a light, thin consistency. I have eaten soup like this in restaurants when I was a small child and was never able to replicate the recipe before. Thank you.
