Do you love creamy soups but hate all the calories and fat that come with them? If so, you’re going to love this low-cal cream of celery soup with potatoes and tomato paste. It’s a hearty and satisfying soup that has an amazing flavor and texture without all the guilt.
This recipe is one of my favorites because it reminds me of my grandmother’s cooking. She used to make this soup for me whenever I was feeling under the weather or needed some comfort food. She taught me how to make it with simple ingredients that I always have in stock: celery, onion, potatoes, tomato paste, sour cream, and some seasonings.
The secret to this soup is the tomato paste. It adds a rich and tangy flavor that complements the sweetness of the celery and onion. It also gives the soup a beautiful tinge of slight color and thickness that makes it look more appetizing. The potatoes add some starch and creaminess to the soup without overdoing the dairy. And the sour cream adds just the right tang to this soup as well as the richness to balance out the flavors.
This soup is also very easy to make. You just need to chop some vegetables, fry them in a pot, add some liquids and seasonings, and simmer until everything is cooked. Then you thicken the soup with a roux made from flour and olive oil. You can also add some pasta or noodles to make it more filling if desired.
This low-cal cream of celery soup with potatoes and tomato paste is perfect for any occasion. You can enjoy it as a starter, a main course, or a snack. You can serve it with some bread, crackers, or salad for a complete meal. You can also freeze it for later or store it in the fridge for up to three days.
I hope you’ll give this recipe a try and see how delicious it is. I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I do. Another wonderful soup that you may also want to try is my white bean spinach soup recipe. In fact, use my search box because there is a lot more tasty soups there.
