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.
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
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.
