\"VeganA little over a month ago, I shared this recipe<\/a> for creamy cauliflower wild rice soup. Within just a week or two, it climbed its way to the top as one of my most viewed recipes for 2018, and the kind comments and five-star reviews trickled in one after the other.<\/p>\n

I had a hunch it would be a hit given how much love it received in our own home, but I've been overwhelmed by the positive response.<\/p>\n

Given how much you've enjoyed that recipe, I figured I'd repurpose the base in a few other rich and creamy soups, the first being this vegan cream of celery soup...<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

Growing up, one of my favorite soups was Campbell's cream of celery. It ranked second behind cream of mushroom and frequented my winter meals.<\/p>\n

But beyond the fact that the canned version is far from vegan, its jiggly, gelatinous consistency leaves quite a lot to be desired.<\/p>\n

This vegan version is rich, buttery, and comforting, yet packed with nourishing ingredients. Really, truly, you'd never know it was \"healthy\" based on taste.<\/p>\n

And yet it is.<\/p>\n

It's packed with vitamin c, vitamin k, magnesium, selenium, and folate.<\/p>\n

To make it, you'll bring a large pot of water to a boil and add four cups of fresh cauliflower florets (in a pinch, you can use 4 \u00bd cups of frozen florets), and boil until tender (about 10 minutes).<\/p>\n

While the cauliflower boils, thinly slice several large stalks of celery and dice an onion. Heat a bit of olive oil in a large stockpot and add the celery and onions along with a bit of dried thyme and rosemary. Saut\u00e9 the vegetables for about five minutes, or until they begin to soften.<\/p>\n

Then, add three cloves minced garlic and continue to cook for another minute, or until the garlic softens.<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

Next, add three cups of low-sodium vegetable broth to the pot, increase the heat, and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, add the reserved boiled cauliflower to a high-speed blender along with raw cashews, nutritional yeast, fresh lemon juice, and sea salt. Blend on high until super smooth and creamy.<\/p>\n

Once the base of the soup has finished simmering, add the creamy cauliflower-cashew mixture to the pot.<\/p>\n

Increase the heat to medium-low and simmer for five minutes, or until it begins to slightly thicken and reduce.<\/p>\n

Taste and generously season with more sea salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper.<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

Once the soup is ready, ladle it into bowls and serve warm.<\/p>\n

I like to top it with a handful of oyster crackers, but it's also delicious all on its own or served with warm multigrain baguette for sopping and dipping purposes.<\/p>\n
