Celery and Potato Soup –
Warm Up with a Cozy Bowl!

Warm, cozy, and surprisingly simple—this Celery and Potato Soup is proof that you don’t need a long ingredient list to create comfort in a bowl. Made with just three pantry-friendly veggies (potatoes, celery, and onion), it’s hearty enough for dinner yet light enough for lunch.

✅ Quick Answer: How do you make celery and potato soup?
To make celery and potato soup, simmer potatoes, celery, and onion in vegetable stock with herbs until tender, then blend until smooth or leave chunky. It’s a simple, hearty, and budget-friendly soup you can make with fresh or dehydrated ingredients.

I often prepare it with dehydrated vegetables, which makes it a year-round staple, but you can just as easily swap in fresh produce. Whether you prefer it smooth and creamy or rustic and chunky, this soup will keep you satisfied and warm.

The soup in my photo is fully blended, but if you like a chunkier texture, blend just a portion of it to thicken it, then stir it back in.

If you have fresh ingredients on hand, please scroll down below the recipe to see the swap.

Celery and Potato Soup Recipe

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Use the freshly boiled water to rehydrate the dehydrated items above.
  2. When they are sufficiently plump, put the veggies into a heavy saucepan, toss the excess water, and add the vegetable stock to the pan.
  3. Add the chopped parsley, tarragon, celery salt, and cumin. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are fully cooked/soft.
  4. Use a blender to mix in small batches... allow the air to escape from the little hole in the lid so that the heat doesn't cause any explosive problems! Just have your hand over that top little hole to catch any runaway splashes.
  5. Blend until smooth, about 45 - 60 seconds.

*IF you need to add salt, do so, BUT be careful NOT to over-salt as the bouillon has salt in it.

Curried Celery & Potato Soup: A Flavor Twist

Curried Celery and Potato soup in a square bowl

This is a mild-tasting, tummy-filling soup. It's easy to make and everyone loves it! If you prefer NOT to put it in the blender for a smooth soup, go ahead and leave it lumpy!

If you look at the curried version (the link takes you to the full recipe), you'll see that I didn't blend the soup... (I might have been in a hurry that day!)

Whatever the reason was for not blending it after making it, it still tasted great!

Other Variations to Try

Want to mix things up? Add leeks for a sweeter flavor, stir in spinach for extra greens, or swirl in cream for a richer texture.

For a smoky touch, a pinch of paprika or a dash of liquid smoke works wonders.

Celery & Potato Soup FAQs (Your Questions Answered)

Can I make celery and potato soup without blending it?

Yes! If you prefer a chunky texture, simply mash part of the soup with a fork or potato masher and stir it back in, leaving the rest hearty and rustic.

What herbs go best with celery and potato soup?

Tarragon, parsley, cumin, and celery salt enhance the flavor beautifully. You can also add thyme or bay leaves for an earthier taste.

Absolutely. Let the soup cool completely, then store in airtight containers for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove and stir well.

How can I make this soup more filling?

Add cooked ham, chicken, or beans for extra protein. A swirl of cream or shredded cheese on top also makes it richer and more satisfying.
