If you’d like to enjoy this Cream of Celery Soup as a bowl of soup?
- Swap out the evaporated milk for cream, add in some minced onion and carrots, some fresh thyme and slice the celery thicker.
- If you’d like, give it a splash of white wine too.
Tools Used in the making of this Condensed Cream of Celery Soup:
Food Processor: This is the newer version of the one I have used and loved for ten years. It is a workhorse and the new model has similarly awesome reviews…and it is so affordable!
AllSpice Spice Rack: I use this spice rack and fill up the bottles with freshly purchased spices. It’s basically one of the most beautiful things in my kitchen and when you’re working with a large quantity of spices, not having to hunt and peck through your cupboards makes everything go at warp speed.
Evaporated Milk: I love using this because it helps with the freezing of the soup. If you’re using it fresh feel free to use heavy cream or half and half.

This recipe makes the equivalent of 2 cans of cream of celery soup. If you need 3, increase is by 1/2. Enjoy!
Can you substitute regular whole milk for the evaporated milk? Thanks.
I’ve not tested it but my gut says yes. Good luck!
