Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 bunch celery, coarsely chopped
½ onion, coarsely chopped
2 cups chicken broth
1 ½ teaspoons garlic salt
1 teaspoon butter flavoring
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups nonfat milk
1 cup potato flakes

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir celery and onion in hot oil until celery is almost completely tender, about 5 minutes. Add chicken broth, garlic salt, butter flavoring, parsley, celery seed, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and simmer until celery is completely soft, 5 to 10 minutes more. Remove from heat.
  • Pour milk and potato flakes into a jar, cover the jar with a lid, and shake until flakes and milk are completely combined.
  • Pour celery mixture into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth. Return pureed celery soup to saucepan.
  • Heat soup in the saucepan over low heat; stir milk-potato flake mixture into soup until completely incorporated and hot, 3 to 5 minutes.
