Steps

1. In a large pot, melt the butter or heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until they become fragrant and translucent.
2. Add the chopped celery to the pot and stir well to combine with the onion and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the celery to soften slightly.
3. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the celery is tender.
4. Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a blender and blend in batches until smooth. Be cautious when blending hot liquids and ensure the lid is secure.
5. Return the pot to low heat and stir in the heavy cream. Heat the soup gently until warmed through, but avoid boiling.
6. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt and pepper according to your preference.
7. Ladle the Keto Creamy Celery Soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of freshness and added visual appeal, if desired.
8. Serve the soup hot and savor its creamy and comforting flavor as a delightful keto-friendly meal.
