Cream of Celery Soup Tips

Can you freeze cream of celery soup?

Dairy-based soups don’t hold up too well to freezing since they can separate when thawed. This cream of celery soup should keep well in an airtight container in the refrigerator to reheat and enjoy within 2 to 3 days. Here's more on which soups can be frozen.

Can cream of celery soup be made dairy-free?

You can easily make a creamy soup without dairy. Swap in coconut milk or try making a roux. Pureed potatoes are another option. Here are all the ways to make creamy soup without using cream.

Can you use beef broth to replace the bouillon?

Yes! Skip the bouillon and instead of the 3-1/3 cups water called for in this cream of celery soup recipe, use 3-1/3 cups beef broth instead.

What else can you use as a topping for cream of celery soup?

Kick your soup-topper game up a notch with some crumbled, crisp bacon or prosciutto. Experiment with different shredded cheeses—Muenster or cheddar would work nicely here (check out some of our other preferred cheese pairings). You could also add a cool dollop of sour cream. Or, how about sprinkling on some tasty seasoned oyster crackers?
