Mary Berry Celery Soup is a classic blended vegetable soup prepared by simmering chopped celery, onion, potatoes, and stock until tender, then blending until velvety smooth. A splash of cream enhances the richness while keeping the flavor fresh, mild, and wholesome.

Ingredients

Scale

Here are the exact amounts you’ll need:

  • 1 large bunch of celery (about 8–10 stalks), chopped

  • 1 medium onion, finely diced

  • 1 medium potato, peeled and chopped

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 litre vegetable or chicken stock

  • 1–2 garlic cloves (optional), crushed

  • 80 ml double cream or whole milk

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Fresh parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions

  • Prepare the vegetables: Wash the celery, chop it into small pieces, and dice the onion and potato.

  • Sauté the base: Melt the butter with olive oil in a large pot and cook the onions until soft and fragrant.

  • Add celery and potatoes: Stir in the celery and potatoes, coating them in the buttery mixture.

  • Pour in the stock: Add enough stock to cover the vegetables and bring the pot to a simmer.

  • Cook gently: Simmer for 20–25 minutes until all vegetables soften fully.

  • Blend until smooth: Use a stick blender to puree the soup into a silky consistency.

  • Add cream and season: Stir in cream, then adjust the salt and pepper to your preference.
