There is so much to love about this dish! #1 it’s a soup which is always a winner in my book, but it’s also dairy free AND it has leeks! Looking forward to giving this a try – YUM!

I have never had homemade celery soup, but I am intrigued! I have always been turned off by the stuff in the can, but this has really peaked my interest! I can’t wait to try!
I have so much celery in my fridge right now for some reason. This is perfect!
Oh wow. This is a good one. Love the combo of spices. Don’t think I would have added ginger or nutmeg on my own but so intrigued!
All I crave is soup and comfort food with this cold weather and this looks delicious. I can’t say I’ve ever had a celery soup.
I am so into the creamy soups every winter! Love making them without cream 🙂
oh this sounds so yummy and I bet it’s fabulous for bloating! might sound weird, but i think people who’ve had dairy issues get it!
Yum, I need to switch things up and I’ve actually never made a celery soup! I always put celery IN soup but never the whole base of soup…sounds really good!
I think people are always surprised you can make a really creamy soup without dairy!
