Outstanding! My 6-year-old granddaughter even said I should enter it in a contest. Imagine that! Finally, a celery soup with no dairy or eggs. I will be making it often. I'd also like to try canning it so it'll always be on hand. The wonderful "bouquet" lasts for a while. I also tried it with a pinch of curry (about 1 tsp) to the recipe. Great for a variation.

We loved the lemony kick to this soup - way better than cream of celery! We didn't puree the soup completely, but that was just a matter of preference. We also followed a reviewer's recommendation and added oregano, basil, and a bay leaf. This is definite repeat - thanks for posting. **Update** This recipe has become a house staple for a weekend lunch. We make it everytime we have celery that's going to go bad, which is often. Thanks again for the killer recipe!

loved this soup! made as written, but used 1 litre chicken stock. I didnt think 3 tablespoons of lemon juice would have much kick, but it was perfect. My celery was stringy, so after blending with a stick blender, I put the mixture thru a sieve, and all the strings stayed in the sieve Excellent flavour!

A totally yummy and very quick to prepare soup, which makes this a great week night recipe. I used my Vegetable Stock instead of chicken broth (where possible, and where practicable, I like my ingredients to be homemade) and used wine instead of water: one of my culinary foibles. Whenever I see water listed as an ingredient, I feel compelled to grab the opportunity to add something more flavoursome. The potatoes made this a wonderfully thick soup and we loved the lemon juice and spinach in this. I also added some minced garlic and several of my favourite herbs: rosemary, sage and thyme. We enjoyed this immensely on a quite chilly summer's evening, well comparatively chilly! I didn't make the cheese toast; we ate our soup with warm crusty ciabatta rolls. This is a recipe I know we'll be enjoying again in the cooler months. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, Sharon. Made for Zaar Stars Tag.
