Instructions

Wash and chop the celery, including the tender leaves. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and peel and cube the potato.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Add the chopped celery and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often, until it begins to soften and sweeten.
Stir in the diced potato, vegetable broth, bay leaf, thyme, and parsley. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the celery and potato are very tender.
Remove the bay leaf. Blend the soup with an immersion blender until completely smooth, or carefully transfer it in batches to a blender.
Return the soup to the pot if needed. Stir in the salt, black pepper, and lemon juice, then taste and adjust the seasoning.
Simmer for 2 to 3 more minutes to let the flavors meld, then serve warm.

Notes

For a lower-carb version, replace the potato with 2 cups chopped cauliflower.
For a richer soup, stir in 1/4 cup coconut milk or cream after blending.
Leeks can be used instead of onion for a milder flavor.
If the soup is too thick, add extra broth 1/4 cup at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
For an extra-smooth texture, strain the soup after blending.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freeze for up to 3 months and thaw before reheating gently on the stovetop.
