Cream of Celery Soup
Posted Wednesday, 08/02/17
A tasty and easy variation on cream of celery soup:
Creamy Celery Noodle Soup
3 TBS butter
1 C celery, diced
1 small onion, diced
1 TBS dried parsley flakes
Lawry's Seasoned Salt to taste
Paprika to taste
Black pepper to taste
1 TBS flour
2-1/2 C chicken broth
1/4 C Half-and-Half
1/4 C milk
1-1/2 C leftover cooked pasta (thin spaghetti cut in half or egg noodles)
Melt butter in a large cooking pot over moderate heat; add diced celery and onion. Stir to combine. Season with parsley, Lawry's Seasoned Salt, paprika and black pepper to taste. Cook and stir until celery and onion become soft and translucent. Sprinkle one tablespoon of flour over the top; stir in chicken broth. Increase heat until mixture comes to a boil, stirring constantly. Mixture will be slightly thickened. Note: If you prefer watery soup, omit the addition of flour and just add chicken broth. Slowly stir in half-and-half and milk. Simmer uncovered for about fifteen to twenty minutes, stirring occasionally. Add leftover cooked pasta; stir well to combine. Serve.
I love the addition of the noodles, and the overall creaminess. Wonderfully comforting on a cold winter's day.
