Dinner Bowl #61

 

This post is mostly for a friend, who gave me a few bunches of celery recently. I didn't know if I could get through all that celery, but she knew she couldn't, so I took them.

And I managed! Here we have vegan cream of celery soup from the recipe at Hidden Veggies. I used soy milk for the protein boost. This was a very simple soup, but truly delicious. On a day I had an extremely low appetite but still needed some dinner, this really hit the spot, and left room for dessert.

I never made cream of celery soup as a non-vegan, so I don't know what it might be meant to be like. I think the closest I ever got was putting condensed cream of celery soup in things like person of earlier generations, though cream of mushroom or cream of chicken were both more common in my household of origin. But this was very satisfying, with a good body to the broth and a nice vegetal flavor.
