Here's a creamy celery soup recipe that doesn't use cream. Filled with flavor, quick to make, and economical as well. If you're vegetarian or vegan, this one's for you as well. In fact, my friend, Melania, who gave me this recipe, is neither vegetarian or vegan!
However, this celery soup recipe works for almost anyone! Just make sure you use a vegan cheese if that's what you want.
What makes these soups so wunderbar? They bring back such wonderful memories of my Mutti's kitchen. So, of course, I had to write my own soup e-cookbook to share with my grandchildren. I know you'll LOVE it, too!
There are 84 full-color pages filled with step-by-step instructions and hints. Take a quick peek ...
Sharing these soup recipes from my Mutti and Oma to my own young grandchildren ... that's such a delicious way to pass on our German heritage :)
A bit of this and a bit of that ...
> Don't have an immersion blender? Carefully pour hot soup into blender and puree.
> Use vegetable bouillon cubes to make stock if you want this to be a vegan vegetable soup. You can always add other veggies as well.
> Don't have fresh thyme? Use about ¼ tsp dried thyme instead.
> If you're making this vegan, make sure you use a vegan cheese for the garnish or omit it altogether.
Celery Soup?
This is a really old recipe that comes from my dear friend, Melania. I've made some slight modifications. Love the fact that we can share recipes, change them up a bit, and turn them into something totally new!

Oma says,
I bought a large bunch of thyme the first time I made this soup. I then froze the leftover thyme in a baggie, flattened to make it easier to remove sprigs as I need them.
I find I can just run my fingers over the frozen sprigs and the frozen thyme leaves come right off.

What others are saying about Oma's cookbooks
To those who don’t know Gerhild, she’s the Oma who put German cuisine on the map with her highly popular website, justlikeoma.com.
Oma dispelled, with great skill, my stereotypical view of beige-y sauce over beige-y sausage with beige-y sauerkraut and beige-y potatoes and finally – beige-y taste.
I thought all German cuisine was the same – sausage. Boy was I wrong.
Beautifully photographed, Oma’s recipes (in German Meals at Oma's) taste as scrumptious as they look.
Look out France, Spain and Italy. A new major European cuisine is about to give you a run for our palates!

Sehr Gut, Gerhild! Your Quick Fix Soups e-book is wonderful.
My Swiss wife is going to love the soups that I make for her with your recipes...
The extra tips and options that you give after each recipe are very helpful.
