Creamy Vegan Garlic Celery Soup
Those of you who know me know that celery is my absolute favorite vegetable.
I’m talking buying at least three bunches of this delicious vegetable a week.
Why do I love them so much? Maybe it’s because I have a huge “salt” tooth (is that a thing? Well if it’s not it is now) and celery has a fairly high sodium content for vegetables.
Furthermore, celery makes for a delicious and crunchy snack. Perfect for dipping into hummus or tossing into quick salads (which we all know are two other weaknesses of mine).
Celery is a good source of:
Vitamin A – good for vision & immune health
Vitamin K – has a role in blood clotting & bone health
Folate – vital for a healthy pregnancy & cell health
Dietary Fiber – Promotes heart health & healthy bowels
And of course, celery is rich in other vital nutrients and phytochemicals!
