It’s officially SOUP season, although I do love soup throughout the seasons. And, today’s recipe is for Celery, Leek & Potato Soup.
Kicking off SOUP season with a Homemade Soup Recipe
It’s officially SOUP season, although I do love soup throughout the seasons. And, today’s recipe os for Celery, Leek & Potato Soup.
A creamy veloute style of soup that is blended to make it silky smooth, and which is packed with your five-a-day.
Celery, leeks, potatoes, onions and garlic go into making this hearty Celery, Leek & Potato Soup, along with creme fraiche , stock cubes and a water – that’s it.
This can be made in a pressure cooker, or a multi-cooker as well as being cooked in the more traditional way on the stove top.
Serve this delightfully creamy soup with crusty bread, croutons, crackers or crispbreads. To make it an extra hearty meal for midwinter, I often serve cheese alongside the soup with bread.
If you have any lovage in your garden, as I obviously do! Then snip a few leaves and add it as a garnish for an extra savoury flavour.
Otherwise, save some of the celery leaf fronds and add them along with fresh parsley for a vibrant final flourish.
Along with today’s recipe, I have also added some more SOUP recipes below – all them come with printable recipe cards.
I hope you enjoy this comforting recipe if you make it, and please do leave a comment below to let me know, Karen

This looks delicious – I love Fenland celery but I’m finding it more and more difficult to obtain. I used to get mine from Waitrose but they don’t seem to be stocking it this year, nor Jerusalem artichokes (another favourite)
Do you grow your own? If not, could you let me know where you get it from please?
Karen Burns-Booth says
Thanks and yes, is’nt Fenland Celery wonderful. I got mine from a small farm shop local to us, althiugh I have bought it from Waitrose in the past. Karen
Gee Farrow says
Thanks Karen – I think I’ll try growing my own in the future!

Chintan Kantute says
Hi,
I don’t know why but my soup (made in the pressure cooker) turned out to be quite sour.
Could anyone suggest why?
Regards!
Karen Burns-Booth says
I have no idea why – sorry, but it’s hard to say why when I am not there in person – this is a winning soup recipe in my family.
