1 cup of roughly chopped celery
1/4 cup cashews
1/2 garlic clove
3/4 cup water
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon celtic sea salt
1/2 cup finely chopped celery (reserve - do not blend)
Directions
1. Add all of the raw cream of celery soup recipe ingredients (except the last 1/2 cup of celery) to your high-speed blender.
2. Blend in your high-speed blender. Start blending on low and work your way all the way up to high. Blend for a very long time so that the stringiness is blended and so that the soup recipe warms up nicely from the speed of your blender.
3. Place your 1/2 cup chopped celery into a bowl. Pour blended celery soup mixture on top of the chopped celery. Mix gently with a spoon.
4. Serve immediately. For an added touch, garnish with thinly sliced avocado.
This raw cream of celery soup recipe makes enough for one big bowl or two very small appetizer cups.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
Raw cream of celery soup recipes, similar to my other soup recipes (raw tomato soup and raw corn chowder) are so darn simple and a great add-on to a somewhat smaller raw vegan lunch or dinner.
I like this raw cream of celery soup recipe when I want something light and creamy at the same time. Raw soups actually make great snacks, too (especially once you get the hang of making them, you can throw them together super quick, like, 5 mins!)!
I can't really think of any major tips to give you. Just make sure that you blend this recipe up for a very long time so that it gets very blended and so that it warms up, as well.
Because celery can be stringy you'll definitely want to make sure that you use a high-speed blender for this raw celery soup concoction.
Cream of celery soup is close to my heart because apparently my mom ate nothing but cream of celery soup when she was pregnant with me!

I will so enjoy eating this raw cream of celery soup! Just for the record, tee hee hee, it was when I was pregnant with your oldest sister that I really really craved cream of celery soup (yes, and in those days, it was always out of a condensed-soup tin of a major brand!) I cannot remember the specific food I craved when pregnant with you. When I remember, I'll be sure and tell you! your ever-loving mama

(Ps. I had an sm. avocado that needed to be used so I threw half of it in the mix, its great!)

You are using raw cashews, I suppose? I'm having trouble finding them in my country, do you have any suggestions as to what I could use as an alternative?
BTW, I love your recipes and how very simple they are, just what I was searching for :)
thank you.

Hi Tara, You could try macadamia nuts instead, they should substitute nicely. Alternatively, you could try brazil nuts (as long as you have a high-speed blender).
1. cashews (best)
2. macadamia (good substitution)
3. brazil nuts (okay in a pinch but macadamia nuts are better)

Thank you for the reply, I'll try to find those. Even though I doubt I'll find macademia nuts, haven't really seen them anywhere. Brazil nuts, I know we have, but they are usually lightly roasted. Ahh, my country sucks lol. Anyway, thanks again!

And the celery soup turned out great! Even in a non high-speed blender.

Hi ,
I"m just starting a raw lifestyle and wonder why sometimes nuts are soaked and not always as in this recipe .
Thanx

Hi Jutta,
Great question. There is a two-part answer to your question:
1. Some raw foodists say that all nuts should first be soaked (to activate the enzymes) and then dehydrated for storage and then use later on. So the result is that you get dry nuts but you've had to go through a huge long process. I do not subscribe to this because it takes WAY TOO MUCH time and is not practical. So I would suggest ignoring this rule.
2. The other time raw foodists talk about soaking nuts is regarding soaking nuts immediately before use. This is for a practical reason -- to soften them so that they blend easier. In this recipe above it's not as important, but sometimes it is important to ensure that the texture is as smooth as possible. Whether or not to soak immediately beforehand is usually specified in the recipe. Also, after soaking you should run clean water over them until the water runs clean.
Hopefully that answers your question Jutta.

Only almonds should be soaked as far as I know - they have enzyme inhibitors in the skin that interrupt absorption if they aren't activated. I think Hazelnuts may also need to be - not sure.

I've heard that all nuts should be soaked because of enzyme inhibitors, except for cashews and hemp seeds. It's also to reduce phytic acid or something.
Anyway they blend better when soaked!

Just eating this now, so simple and delicious. I can definitely see this becoming a regular snack of mine. Might try it without the added salt next time. Though I've just found your site so plenty of other great looking recipes to try before then. :)

I just tried this soup yesterday. I kind of failed as I don't have cup measurements, I made it very thick with lots of cashews and was a bit heavy on the garlic. The taste was still very nice but not to eat like soup, it reminded me more of tzatsiki, the fresh taste of celery makes it almost like yoghurt! So I believe this recipe with a bit less water and some cucumber added would become a lovely tzatsiki to enjoy with other dishes or just to dip stalks of carrots in.
Thank you for a great website! As someone who's just getting into the art of raw food your simple recipes are perfect!

My allergies are many. Can’t eat nuts. Only almonds and seeds once in awhile
Would avocado do or anything else you can recommend.
Again, I’m missing out on so many great recipes!

Bummer!
You might find it helpful to look into "low fat raw vegan" recipes because they don't use nuts. (But they do use a lot of fruit and I know you have a sugar allergy so that might not be quite right for you either)
For this recipe you could try a combination of avocados and hemp hearts (hopefully you can eat help hearts - if so you should get a lot of them because they'll be really handy to add some good fats and creaminess in place of nuts)

I wonder if I could try this recipe with brocolli instead? By the way I love your recipe's, they are so easy and tempting.

Yes, definitely Shameem. Just use brocolli instead of celery in both places of the recipe. Keep the ratios the same.

Your alfredo sauce is absolutely amazing, as well as the 1 minute chocolate fudge!! I have the brownies in the fridge ready to take to a bbq tomorrow, and look forward to trying this soup on Monday! Sending big love and thanks to you all the way from Australia, thank you for inspiring me to take the raw food journey for my family. My daughter has cancer and good health is so important!

Hi! I have only been fully raw for a couple weeks now but wanted to tell you that because of all your EASY and delish recipes, I am going to stay raw long-term! Thanks for sharing all of this! Do you mind sharing how long it took to lose your 25 lbs? Though I am eating raw for health and energy (I had 5 babies in 7 yrs and feel really depleted), I wouldn't mind losing 10 lbs!

5 babes! 7 years! Wow. You go girl!
I went 100% raw overnight. I think I lost 25 pounds in two months or so. It's all a bit vague in my memory since it was a while ago. But I have stayed at my ideal weight for 2.5 years now.
Take care of yourself Elizabeth. A good mommy is a happy mommy :)

So happy to find recipes that I can make for my family that are raw and vegan. We don't eat or seldom eat garlic, onions or the like. So it is difficult to find recipes that I can make or modify to be tasty enough for us. Thank you for all the soup ideas. YUUMMM! ;)

I tried it.. and it was okay. Edible. I added some leeks to it, and also sprinkled some dried chives over-top. I wouldn't make it again. But I'm excited to try the corn chowder version of it.

Hi Lauren - corn chowder is pretty similar to this one except with a corny flavor. So if you didn't love the celery you're probably not going to love the corn :)

Thank you for the recipe. I found some wonderful bright green celery at the farmer's market today, and decided to search the web for a celery soup recipe. Your recipe was so simple and quick, I decided to try it. of course, I had to substitute: avocado for the nuts, and I used the celery leaves for a beautiful and delicious green soup. I live in Hawaii, and good organic celery is expensive and often not very appealing, apparently hard to grow here. I feel very lucky tonight.

Made it again today-it is so good! My 8 year old son said, " this is actually good!" My question is I have the newer Vitamix with the preset soup button. When I did the setting for soup it gets pretty hot and I am wondering if it then goes into non-raw status. In your tutorial you only blended the soup for a little bit but my soup button program blends it for at least 6-8 min-is that too long?

Hi there! Stumbled upon your site and am so stoked! Can you use a food processor for these recipes? I tried making the raw Cream of Pepper soup last night (sooo good and filling surprisingly) but wasn't as smooth as yours.... need to get a Vitamix ASAP!
