This delicious celery soup is very healthy and and high in nutrients, as celery is rich in vitamin C. Celery soup is often referred to as a weight loss soup as it provides low-calorie dietary fiber. It helps to lower cholesterol levels and reduces high blood pressure.

This is also a great way to use up the vegetable since I had some leftover celery from making a salad. Preparation is very simple as you only need to combine just a few ingredients and get them blended together to produce this tasty soup. You can serve this delicious celery soup as a light meal, served with crusty bread or as a starter.
