Oma's creamy Cream of Celery Soup recipe makes a wonderful light supper. Serve a salad on the side, some crispy crackers, and fruit to finish, and you'll have a happy and satisfied family!
It's a variation of a normal celery soup, but with additions that turn this into a soup that satisfies the German taste buds.
A difference is that Germans use celery root for their soup. This one uses the stalks and leaves, since celery root is not always available here.
So what's the main difference between this and a non-German one? Cream! Nutmeg! Leeks!
Everything a good German cream soup should have.

If you don't have any leek, just omit it. Add a bit more celery if you wish.
If you have freshly grated nutmeg, that would be super. If not, just use ground.
Always check your seasoning at the end. It depends on how salty your broth is if you need to add salt or not.
I love playing around with recipes. So easy to do with soups, since they don't really need accurate measurements. Try some of this and some of that ... create new recipes from old ones.
Change old ones with a new addition.
Have fun!
