Creamy celery soup is a delicate and aromatic dish of French cuisine, embodying the sophistication of gastronomy. Its base is the soft taste of celery, enriched by cream and milk. Light notes of leek and potato give the soup a velvety texture, while celery seeds enhance its exquisite aroma. This soup emerged in French culinary traditions as an elegant first course that warms and provides a sense of coziness. It is perfect for serving at dinner on a cool evening when something light yet nourishing is desired. Served with crispy baguette or croutons, garnished with fresh celery leaves for added freshness.
