kcalWe set out to make a celery soup for our soft foods booklet Gentle Gourmet and this knocks it out of the park. This soup showcases the simplest of the Vitamix hot soup methods by preparing everything start-to-finish in the blender. The only prep work needed is cooking a potato, which is straightforward and forgiving. Don’t mistake its simplicity in looks for its flavor. Because it uses the entire celery stalk, the flavor is robust. Plus, with the potato, it’s pretty hearty.
Ingredients
8 celery stalks, halved lengthwise
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1 large russet potato, steamed and peeled
1 thick slice (½ inch) yellow onion
4 cups (960 ml) vegetable broth
½ cup (70 g) cashews, raw or roasted
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ teaspoon salt (optional)
Directions

- Combine all ingredients in a high-powered blender container.

Notes
- This forgiving recipe allows for flexibility with ingredients. The soup will still turn out well if you need to adjust the celery quantity slightly.
- For extra garnish, consider reserving some finely diced celery leaves or a drizzle of olive oil.
- Storage: The soup will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
