Hi there all my dear friends! Are you looking for more Easy Family Dinner Ideas? You know how I love making a good homemade soup. So we had a ton of celery left over from a take-out order of buffalo wings. None of us in this house are wildly crazy for celery all by it’s lonesome – but being the “don’t be wasteful” sort of person I am – I saved it in the fridge knowing I would make this fabulous (Dairy Free) Creamy Celery Soup.
I absolutely love this recipe because not only can I make it for enjoying with a side of Cheddar & Chive Beer Bread, but it freezes well for use in casseroles or other dishes too. I’m all about versatile recipes.
I love making recipes in large batches so I have enough left over to use in other recipes later on. It takes the same amount of time to make a double batch of this as it does to make this version. So why not make a little more & have something on hand for another night when I’m short on time?
You can reasonably create this up in about 30-35 minutes. So if you are looking for a quick week night meal- this is the one for you. We are usually tight on time after getting home late from the gym & swimming. I’m rarely in the mood for cooking something time consuming – so soups like this are my “go-to” meal.
