Ingredients

1 cup finely chopped onion
2 cups finely chopped celery
1 clove garlic, minced or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium broth (any type)
1 cup low-fat milk (see Notes)
1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  2. Heat butter in a large saucepan on medium heat. Add onion, celery, garlic and salt. Cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Turn heat to low. Stir in flour.
  4. Add broth and stir until the mixture is smooth. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low for about 10 minutes. Stir in the milk and pepper.
  5. For a smooth soup, puree in batches in a blender, using the manufacturer's directions for pureeing hot liquids.
  6. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.

Notes

  • Instead of fluid milk, mix 1/3 cup dry milk with enough water to make 1 cup.
  • Top with a spoonful of plain yogurt and chopped parsley, dill or celery leaves.
  • Try using as the sauce for Food Hero Mix and Match Skillet Meal.

Comments

I made this recipe and was very surprised with how easy and tasty it was; definitely more appealing than opening a can of soup. I used leftovers as the sauce for the Mix and Match Skillet Meal. I love using ingredients on hand to make something brand new.
