Carbs in Cream of Celery Soup

Homemade cream of celery soup is always a better choice than anything out of a tin. This keto cream of celery soup is just 4g net carbs per serving.
How Many Carbs in Celery
Celery is a great low carb vegetable with just 1.4 grams of net carbohydrates in a 100 gram serving.
Celery is also a low carb food and perfect for serving with dips. It's a great low carb snack too.
How to select good celery
The quality of the celery makes a lot of difference to the flavor of the soup. A bland supermarket stringy celery will not give you the same results.
When shopping for celery look for:
- Firm stalks.
- Vibrant green colour.
- Bright and perky green leaves.
- Medium thick stalks.
How to Make Vegan Cream of Celery Soup
To thicken the soup and cut down on the carbohydrates we have used cauliflower, making this a keto vegan celery soup without potato.
Once you have assembled all of the ingredients, this soup is easy to make.
- Saute the garlic and olive oil.
- Add the cauliflower florets.
- Add the celery and sweat for 5 minutes.
- Add the seasoning and stock and cook.
Once the vegetables are cooked, blend the soup into a creamy texture using an immersion blender or pour it into a food blender. Just be careful of the temperature when blending to prevent scalding from any soup splatters.
How to increase the protein content
Nutritional yeast is used in this celery soup recipe for it's nutritional benefits for vegans and the slight cheesy flavour it adds. You could increase the amount of tablespoons used, but taste test as you add it, as you don't want to overpower the soup's flavour.
Serve with a garnish of hemp hearts or fried tofu cubes for another protein boost.
Keto Celery Soup Storage
This soup should be kept in the fridge in a sealed container. It will last up to 5 days. If you don't think you will consume it in time, it can be frozen.
Can you freeze this vegan soup?
This is a great soup to freeze since it does not have any dairy. Creamy soups can sometimes split when defrosted.
Once the soup has completely cooled, pour it into an air tight container or in a zip lock bag. The soup should last up to 3 months in the freezer.
Defrost the soup in the refrigerator and gently reheat it in on the stove for about 5 minutes.
Recipe Tips
Swap the cauliflower for celeriac for another great low carb vegetable that will yield a creamy texture.
If you don't have celery salt or celery pepper, add a touch more salt and pepper seasoning.
The cauliflower could be omitted and coconut milk used for a creamy vegan soup.
The shallots can be replaced by small white onions if you don't have any.

Just made this celery soup, loved it!!! Didn’t have nutritional yeast so used Parmesan instead and added cumin because I love it. So delicious, freezing the rest in portion packs. Thank you!

It will be about 2/3 cup (6 oz) a serving
Todd Lang says
Your recipe indicates the nutritional information is per serving. However, no where does it what constitutes a serving size. A bowl of soup is too vague. Is it. Cup, or 16 fl oz etc.
